I think this one package is at minimal threat, but at the distro-level;
depending on old libraries (some unmaintained) is a risk,
there are stil 300 packages needing six.

Some things could break in half expected ways ... again.

We had this dependency chain before:
   pytest -> requests -> urllib3(v1) -> six.

So any package with a build-depends on pytest would get six
for free in it's build chroot.

After the Urllib3 upgrade to v2 the FTBFS bugs came in waves;
some were solved only lately.

The whole same thing might happen when the python3-dateutil is upgraded.
I think it's better to be proactive than react during the freeze.

When I first find a git repo ...
I can provide a patch on basis of last tarball but that feels 1999

This one does not contains otf2
