It won't happen if the packages are well maintained. Note that if you want a different version for your project you should use a pyenv or similar and have finer control on its dependencies

A pyenv is separating system and user / project packages. You could take it one step further and use pkgsrc, Nix, or homebrew. That way you can get a newer redis/RabbitMQ/whatever not just newer python.
