 """Provides an implementation of ``FetcherInterface`` using the Requests HTTP
 library.
+
+Note that this module is deprecated, and the default fetcher is
+Urllib3Fetcher:
+* RequestsFetcher is still available to make it easy to fall back to
+  previous implementation if issues are found with the Urllib3Fetcher
+* If RequestsFetcher is used, note that `requests` must be explicitly
+  depended on: python-tuf does not do that.
