I don't think we need to rush to a decision.

Have any other distros patched this CVE? I see it's still unpatched in
Debian [1], and Arch Linux is on v2.6.2 already [2]. Ubuntu has taken
the patch [3], we should check if they've modified it or directly taken
the upstream commit.

[1]: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-urllib3
[2]: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-urllib3/
[3]: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-urllib3/2.5.0-1ubuntu1

Jiaying Song: Any thoughts on this? You did the backport to scarthgap.
