Description

Is there a more permanent solution to the issues with python 2.4.0+ pending? https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/requirements.txt#L10 https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-34e5603fe3

Fedora 43+ has moved to urllib3 2.5.0 so in order to continue packaging the python kubernetes-client will mean carrying a patch to revert this change.
