Not planned Upgrade to Guzzle 7

Might be some performance benefits since it implements directly with php-http. Also means you can shrink the dependency list since no need for an adapter anymore.

Also I know this isn't "supported" but when extending XF into custom applications (e.g Laravel) and requiring XF.php, since Laravel 8 moved to Guzzle 7 there are some weird quirks and bugs that occur due to XF running Guzzle 6. I know you guys aren't responsible for this, but just something extra to keep in mind.

The third party dependencies we use are regularly reviewed, particularly if we ever change the XF minimum PHP requirements as. this generally unlocks newer versions with higher requirements.

Unfortunately, Guzzle 7 is only compatible with PHP 7.2 and above.

We are only just leaving PHP 5.x behind by requiring PHP 7.0 with XF 2.2. PHP 7.2 as a minimum requirement in XF seems like it might be a while away.

Once we do, Guzzle 7 will be a possibility but for now this isn't something we need to track via a suggestion.
