@adamchainz It's not uncommon for us to pin versions, often at least to major versions. For packages that follow semver closely (not all do), that's typically safe. Though not always. |

Sure, but you have to balance making your library safer against breakage versus blocking users from upgrading, which may be safer for them. I don’t want to downgrade urllib3 since it might break things in my project or make it less secure. |

@adamchainz I have no problems with the latest version, assuming it is verified to work. Though I can't speak to some future 3.x version. |

Fixes #2142
Description
Remove the upper version bound constraint added in #2051. It’s unclear why it was added as @tracyboehrer left no notes. See this mega blog post for a long explanier on why libraries should avoid such constraints.
