Thanks.  I have staged that version restriction for the next release of 
electrum to unstable.  Because the new version of aiorpcx was already in 
testing before the version of electrum that required it was released, I doubt 
that this has caused problems for anyone.  At least, nobody has file any bug 
reports about it.  But it makes sense to include version constraints when we 
know about them, and somebody might try doing a partial testing or unstable 
upgrade at some point in the future, so this is a good idea.
