Seems this is still unaddressed for quite some time.

Not really "busted", it just (rightly) complains that it's being used 
with a version of Python (2.7.8) that makes proper use of SSL impossible 
without adding extra dependencies...

Easiest fix is to disable the warnings (ONLY for F21) per package or 
patch/downgrade urllib3. Right fix is to bump Python to 2.7.9 or .10, 
but that will cause random unexpected breakage for a lot of people.
