Please take into account that beyond the missing packages, I think we should also ensure that we agree on a single httpclient version for the release train.

In the past we've had hard to reproduce issues with faulty wiring and classloader problems when there were multiple versions present. This can happen when bundles expose  types from the library in their own signatures and this way clients get exposed to the same types from different versions through different classloaders. For MPC this was the case in the past due to Userstorage SDK exposing httpclient API without having uses-declarations in its manifest. That should be fixed with https://git.eclipse.org/r/c/136312/, but I think other projects had similar issues.
