I doubt discussing with upstream will yield any possitive outcome as 
this is a specific philosophical movement.

See https://github.com/vcr/vcr/pull/792
and

We will have to go back to 5.0 and someone will have to maintain it

Hi Release team,

Do you think this needs to be fixed before bullseye? If yes, do you 
agree to change the reverse dependencies listed in my previous message 
to this bug?

Thanks
