Description

This issue is intended to contain a tentative roadmap for things to be included/removed in Requests 4.0.

For now, the most important function of this issue is to contain an action list to keep track of follow-up actions from current PRs/issues, which need to be handled in a major release.

Action list
  • Remove the PSR-0 BC-layer from the Autoload class.
    Related: https://github.com/WordPress/Requests/pull/519
    • Remove fallback code in the Autoload class.
    • Remove classmap and files directives from Composer autoload.
    • Remove the complete library directory.

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #519 and the Autoload class, then inspect Composer's autoload directives and the library directory. Done means removing the PSR-0 fallback, the classmap and files directives, and the complete library directory for Requests 4.0.
