[Python-Dev] PEP 466 (round 4): Python 2.7 network security enhancements

[Alex Gaynor]

A casual glance at
https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/blob/master/requests/packages/urllib3/
util.py#L610
which is probably the most widely used consumer of these APIs, outside the
stdlib itself, looks to me like if these names were to suddenly show up,
everything would continue to work just fine, with the advance of being able to
explicitly specify some options.

All of which is to say: I don't think this is a real concern.
