[8.0] GuzzleHTTP update to 7.0+ necessary?

[SDekkers]

Other than a bump to 7+ in the laravel/laravel repository, I don't see much related that requires a change in the Guzzle package version.

I'm using cloudflare-sdk and some other packages which require guzzle 6. Would it be possible to use Laravel 8.0 with Guzzle 6?

you should be free to require whichever version you need for your app, correct? If Laravel had a specific dependency on Guzzle, it would be listed in the laravel/framework dependencies.

I think this is more so they are encouraging you to move forward, but I don't think it would prevent the framework from working.
