NOTE: As explained by the owners in the Feedback section, this proposal was submitted after the deadline because the impact of the package update proved to be broader than anticipated.
Update to a new upstream release of python-packaging contains a breaking change. Since version 22+ upstream removed support for LegacySpecifier and LegacyVersion some packages will break. This is a breaking change and projects are encouraged to use versions adherent to PEP 440.
Note: Currently, we plan to update to 23.0, but this can be updated even further. The change proposal explicitly mentions version 22+ because that version removed support for LegacyVersions and legacy version specifiers.
Owners, do not implement this work until the FESCo vote has explicitly ended. The Fedora Program Manager will create a tracking bug in Bugzilla for this Change, which is your indication to proceed. See the FESCo ticket policy and the Changes policy for more information.
Adding a request for fast track since the change complete (testable) deadline is in 7 days.

I think that the number of affected packages and the scope of the necessary changes are both small enough (and well-understood enough) to be acceptable, and I would like to see this make it into F38.
+1
I feel a bit uneasy, but that's largely because I don't understand the change well enough. But the scope seems to be relatively limited and if problems emerge, I'm confident the Change owners will resolve them.

If there is anything you want us to clarify, I can try that.

We are ready to help solve all packaging problems with Python RPM dist deps generators.
+1 as the change owner
Thanks for packaging up such a nice change proposal package for the package update of the python-packaging package.
