> 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.
> As discussed at length in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-572 we found out that the 'chardet` library used by `requests` 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 [~ash] has been merged: [https://github.com/psf/requests/pull/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.
