Current evaluation

Feature request to rewrite craft-store using httpx instead of requests, to work around requests version pinning issues. Partially implemented: httpx-based auth classes and Publisher Gateway client exist, but core clients still use requests.

Suggested action: keep open

Reason: The rewrite is partially complete - httpx auth classes (_httpx_auth.py) and Publisher Gateway client exist, but core clients (base_client.py, http_client.py, ubuntu_one_store_client.py) still import requests. The issue remains relevant as the migration is incomplete. Last activity was 487 days ago with only a bot comment, but the work is demonstrably in progress.
