Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:29 TobiasBg]:
 > The original merge changeset [52244] mentioned "PHP 8.1 compatibility".
 > Should relevant changes (if it's not too many?) maybe be backported to
 the reverted-to Requests version, to achieve (as much as possible) PHP 8.1
 compatibility in WP 5.9 (released two months after PHP 8.1, after all)?

 Replying to [comment:31 azaozz]:
 > Changing a file's name is a back-compat issue and should never happen
 unless completely unavoidable. That may be fixed in core in 6.0 but will
 remain a problem "forever" in other places :(
 >
 > So my suggestion is to revert these file name changes and release a new
 version of Requests before updating it in core.

 Both of these suggestions seem worth considering to me.
