Comment (by michaelld):

 No good reason ... livecheck doesn't show that upgrade path for py*-sip
 ... currently the
 [https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/download primary SIP
 download page] still points to "SIP4" version 4.19.25, which is what
 py*-sip is at.

 On the RBC website there is news that
 [https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/news/SIP_v6.1.0_Released SIP 6.1.0 was
 released] ... notes that `The latest version of ABI v12 is v12.9.0.` ...
 looks like we have to go to the [https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/hg/sip
 SIP Mercurial repo] to get the latest version for livecheck!

 I see [https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5-sip/ PyQt5-sip on PyPi] ... version
 12.9.0 ... with [https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/sip/ homepage
 that points back to the RBC website] ... I really don't know what this
 package is based on!  RBC has no "version 12" of SIP ... maybe they are
 looking at the SIP API version or something not directly related to the
 actual SIP version?

 What's not clear to me with just a quick search is: how do I download a
 tarball or whatever of the actual 6.1.0 release? I -might- be able to do
 this via the MC repo, 6.1.0 tag, then "bz2" link, which points to
 "https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/hg/sip/file/1eb31e4c5375" ... but
 that's nonobvious, unlike the usual link to download the current SIP4
 release
 "https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Downloads/sip/4.19.25/sip-4.19.25.tar.gz"
 ...
