Comment (by jrf):

 Now look:
 1. Requests is still an external dependency. Do you expect SimplePie or
 PHPMailer to bring something like this up in the WP Core Slack ? No, so
 don't expect it from Requests either.
 2. The roadmap for Requests 2.0.0 was published well in time, the PR for
 the namespacing was open for more than a month, the release cycle was
 something like six months, with the release being delayed for an extra two
 months as well. Any feedback before the actual release would have been
 very welcome and would have been taken into account.
 3. Changing the namespace now, even if just the case of the namespace,
 **IS** a breaking change, what with the autoloading being case-sensitive,
 and would require a 3.0 release.

 The repo is public, conversations were had in public, there is a even a
 #core-http-api channel in the WP Slack for transparency for those
 interested, but nobody showed an interest.

 It's easy to complain and criticize after the fact. If you wanted to have
 a say, you should have gotten involved.
