After discussion in #gentoo-dev and simple chroot testing, it seems like
dev-python/requests nor dev-python/urlllib3 needs
dev-python/cryptography at all (when run with stable Python, tested with
3.8). So unless there's a really good reason outside of gemato sync,
this looks to be a non-issue for portage and more of a dependency fix.
