   Hello Maintainers,
   
   I am a PMC member of Apache Airflow, and I wanted to give you a bit of 
heads-up with rather important migration to the upcoming version of requests 
library in your Python release.
   
   Since you are using requests library in your project, you are affected. It's 
not as bad for you as you seem to use requests library optionally (when some 
extras are used) and LGPL dependencies can be used if they are not optional, 
however it would be safer if you use non-LGPL dependency also here).
   
   As discussed at length in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-572 we 
found out that the 'chardetlibrary used byrequests` library was a mandatory 
dependency to requests and since it has LGPL licence, we should not release any 
Apache Software with it.
   
   Since then (and since in Airflow we rely on requests heavily) we have been 
working with the requests maintainers and "charset-normalizer" maintainer to 
make it possible to replace chardet with MIT-licensed charset-normalizer 
instead so that requests library can be used in Python releases by Apache 
projects.
   
   This was a bumpy road but finally the PR by @ashb has been merged: 
psf/requests#5797 and we hope soon a new version of requests library will be 
released.
   
   This is just a heads-up. I will let you know when it is released, but I have 
a kind requests as well - I might ask the maintainers to release a release 
candidate of requests and maybe you could help to test it before it is 
released, that would be some re-assurance for the maintainers of requests who 
are very concerned about stability of their releases.
   
   Let me know if you need any more information and whether you would like to 
help in testing the candidate when it is out.
