When did Pywikibot become a package manager?
It's not a package manager, it just expects certain dependencies. If you checked your installed packages using `pip check`, you would get a similar message.
Even when I run this on Toolforge I get this warning:
What install method (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Toolforge/Pywikibot) did you use? Are you running from the grid or kubernetes?
Why am I getting this 8 line warning message?
You have a dependency that is older than what Pywikibot expects. Various security fixes have occurred in Requests between 2.12.4 and 2.20.1, including at least one (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-18074) with a CVSS score of 9.8 out of 10 (Critical) that could allow your credentials to be transmitted in plaintext.
What's the point of this?
To get you to stop using an insecure, out-of-date dependency.
