Sorry, I'm afraid I set off the discussion in the pypa thread you
pointed to above.

Reporting back here, for those not on the pypa-dev Google group - it
looks like the TLS 1.0 shutdown is being driven by the Warehouse
release, which I believe is planned for the 16th of April (Warehouse
can't use TLS 1.0).  In practice, there is no way of giving the users
a better or more visible warning message than the message we are
currently getting from using the -v flag.  I'm arguing over in that
thread, that it would be better to give up on the -v flag warning, and
go straight to an SSL error (which has an uninformative message - see
[1]), because the current situation, where pip silently fails to
upgrade, including failing to upgrade itself, is more confusing than
the SSL error.  Do people agree / disagree?

Cheers,

Matthew
