Description
Description of the tech debt to be addressed, include links and screenshots
The pip module currently has logic to check for very old versions of pip, and then special code paths that only apply to those versions. Those decisions and code can be dropped per conversations with the Core team. This will streamline the code and reduce tech debt.
