I ran into this recently, I'm sure many others did too (I'm not the issue poster).

https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/702

https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/pull/2581

While the bug does seem pretty critical for websocket users, the patch-version-change ended up breaking any application that uses gunicorn with eventlet (even if you don't use websockets).

It feels slightly like my fault, because eventlet has been at v0.x.x for 9 years now. I used to be a bit hesitant about using anything that couldn't declare a version 1.0.0. I guess I've learned my lesson and just won't use any v0 library except in hobby projects now.
