A) Not the thread for this discussion.
B) I didn’t say that OpenStack *never* pinned it, I said it didn’t
currently
C) Did you read the whole thread? I mentioned 2.4.0 as an exception
because of ProtocolErrors and the redirect_cache members of OpenStack
lobbied for.
D) Before someone else replies, I assumed the transition from 0.x -> 1.0
was also the other obvious (and not worth mentioning) break in stability
given that since then we’ve had no API changes (with the exception of
2.4.0 not re-wrapping a single urllib3 exception).
