 Replying to [comment:35 jrf]:
 > The namespacing in Requests 2.0.0 and the file renames are NOT a BC-
 break.

 Yeah, I know. Sorry about it. Best to move the conversation to another
 place, perhaps at https://make.wordpress.org/core/.

 > Now back to the problem at hand: what's breaking here is not Requests
 2.0.0. What's breaking is that the WP upgrader process is trying to use a
 mix of files from Requests 1.x and 2.x during the upgrade process and
 isn't equipped to handle case-only file renames.

 > Am I surprised that that breaks things ? No, as that's a very clear bug
 and code smell. But it's a bug in the upgrader, not in Requests.

 I understand that, but on the other hand files in WordPress should never
 be renamed unless absolutely unavoidable. If this triggers a but in WP are
 there a 100% guarantee it will never trigger a bug somewhere else?

 As this is a WordPress (sub) project, I'd think it should follow the
 established rules/best practices. So the questing is: is this completely
 unavoidable? If not, I stand by my recommendation to revert and release a
 new version before merging to WP.
