Research direction

Review the linked google-cloud-python migration discussion and the issue thread first. The stated completion target is removing the httplib2 and google-auth-httplib2 dependencies, but no files, tests, or entry points are identified, so the implementation scope and validation need maintainer guidance.

Description

next major: breaking change type: feature request

This library still has dependencies on httplib2 and google-auth-httplib2. Most of the other Google Python libs have migrated away from these. Specifically, httplib2 has known thread-safety problems, and google-auth-httplib2 seems to have been developed as a backward compat package. Are there any plans for migrating these dependencies out?
