Yes, I agree that in general, people appreciate simplicity. I too. My previous comment was more aligned with how I read it in what people liked in requests. Rough thoughts were along the lines like .get, .post with data, .head etc and managing certs. All these are split across different modules in stdlib and I found that requests provided it a single place and useful entry for people doing most-common operations.
