Comment 3 for bug 1815001

OpenStack maste lists requests lib version as 2.21.0 >> https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/master/upper-constraints.txt#L199

Queens is still at 2.18 >> https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/stable/queens/upper-constraints.txt#L193

So from Openstack stein perspective , it should be OK making this switch.

I see that ubuntu has releases patches for their older request lib versions >> https://usn.ubuntu.com/3790-1/
