I agree in general to get rid of python-oauth2client
And gladly certbot upstream indeed recently got ready for what they were
asked for (to allow us to get a much newer version). Adrien already
pinged the Debian case.
I agree that this will soon happen, probably could even still go into
Oracular with an FFe, but is unlikely to happen in time :-/
I see in 2074069 that foundations works on getting rid of the severely
outdated python-oauth2client and after this only 2 dependencies would be
left. So we are almost there.
Furthermore this is gladly "only" an extension to certbot and can go
without dragging the rest down.
But it is a valid use case for users of google DNS API.
And removing this is just as much subject to the Feature Freeze as is updating
it.
While everyone would love to get rid of python-oauth2client, since you
have other dependencies still holding it around removing this one here
in a rush does not gain us much. But OTOH we'd offend the 0.[0]*1% of
people that use this.
Unless I'm missing a stricter reason (like failed to build and be serviceable
or a deeper security concern) I'd Nack the request for now. But I'd would be ok
once either of the following is true:
1. We have a newer certbot version (then it actually does not need to go away
anymore)
2. This would be the last to keep python-oauth2client around (then at least we
have a gain for the price)
So for now, IMHO this is a (temporal) Won't Fix.
I'm happy to get convinced otherwise by arguments or changes in the other
packages that hold in oauth2 (or the certbot update we all wait for).
** Changed in: python-certbot-dns-google (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
