Good point!

I was actually digging on this earlier today. I would personally agree 
and work on the migration if core developers agree as well!

I took a quick look over the different clients and it seems that the 
only thing not forward compatible is the `config` keyword argument being 
passed to `requests.requests` (at least in (nova|keystone)client).

glanceclient doesn't use requests yet but there's an effort being put on 
its migration to it [0]. The thing is that this migration is currently 
blocked for the same reason, since requests 1.1 implements `chunked` 
requests which is a required feature for glanceclient.

So, the migration isn't as simple as changing one number but I would 
definitely +1 it if core devs agree as well.
