it would be really nice if we could enable HTTPBasicAuth because at this moment talking with multiple gerrit servers seems to be a real challenge.

For example: 
* review.rdoprpject.org server works only with BasicAuth and also requires custom url suffix "/r".
* review.opendev.org works only with Digest auth

Considering that from 2.14 only BasicAuth will be supported, it makes sense to make the move now.

PS. I stopped using pygerrit2 and I am using requests directly, as I did not find many benefits in pygerrit so far.
