Other than that, it might still be a possibility to actually demote the dependency (perhaps just in unstable), and wait for people to report when they run into problems (it shouldn't be anything that wouldn't be noticed immediately, the only thing that would be kinda "hidden" was TLS/no-TLS, but that's anyway not a point... so if it's something like proxy, you'd get rather soon a ticket). Otherwise we'd probably find out never. :D > I hope you can live with the current state of affairs (ruby- > httpclient > as a recommendation). Sure... it's all just about (more or less cosmetic) improvements Thanks, Chris.
