+Subject: [PATCH] Bump the ceiling for botocore memory leak tests to 15 MiB
+
+See https://github.com/boto/botocore/issues/3205 for the
+background on this. In rebuilding awscli2 for Python 3.13 in
+Fedora Rawhide, we found that two of these tests fail because
+they now top out around 11MiB of memory usage, rather than
+around 1.6MiB. We don't understand why this is yet, but it's not
+a memory *leak*, so bumping the ceiling seems appropriate. I'm
+sending this upstream so I have a reference for the downstream
+package and to raise awareness of the issue, but the correct fix
+may be something else.
