That would need to be done for each version. But if an author uploads a new 
version he should set the contrains himself.
A small problem here would be, that we need to repackage the extension to 
update the version information.

Other than that, this feature is already on our radar, just needs time 
and/or sponsoring to be implemented.

But the list for TER is very long:

Priority for the moment is to update T3o to TYPO3 6.2 LTS (still running on 
4.5 LTS).

That would need a solr expert who wants to hack away on the T3o 
infrastructure.
