Comment (by rmccue):

 I am fully on board with replacing WP_Http with Requests. It's totally
 possible with a small compatibility layer (as you can see in the link),
 and we'd gain a bunch of stuff: high test coverage, more hooks, less
 dependency on WP core (and hence, more reusable outside of WP; e.g. wp-cli
 uses Requests to download WP), and PSR-7 compatibility (in progress at the
 moment).

 Requests needs one or two slight changes, but already matches the vast
 majority of the features in WP_Http. (This makes sense, seeing as I've
 worked on both. ;) )

 If we want to make this happen, I'm in. This needs buy-in from at least
 @dd32 on the core side though.
