+Revert `#6436 <https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/6436>`__: unfortunately this change has caused a number of regressions in many suites,
+so the team decided to revert this change and make a new release while we continue to look for a solution.

-        """A list of argnames for fixtures that this fixture depends on.
-
-        Given a request, this looks at the currently known list of fixture argnames, and
-        attempts to determine what slice of the list contains fixtures that it can know
-        should execute before it. This information is necessary so that this fixture can
-        know what fixtures to register its finalizer with to make sure that if they
-        would be torn down, they would tear down this fixture before themselves. It's
-        crucial for fixtures to be torn down in the inverse order that they were set up
-        in so that they don't try to clean up something that another fixture is still
-        depending on.
-
-        When autouse fixtures are involved, it can be tricky to figure out when fixtures
-        should be torn down. To solve this, this method leverages the ``fixturenames``
-        list provided by the ``request`` object, as this list is at least somewhat
-        sorted (in terms of the order fixtures are set up in) by the time this method is
-        reached. It's sorted enough that the starting point of fixtures that depend on
-        this one can be found using the ``self._parent_request`` stack.
-
-        If a request in the ``self._parent_request`` stack has a ``:class:FixtureDef``
-        associated with it, then that fixture is dependent on this one, so any fixture
-        names that appear in the list of fixture argnames that come after it can also be
-        ruled out. The argnames of all fixtures associated with a request in the
-        ``self._parent_request`` stack are found, and the lowest index argname is
-        considered the earliest point in the list of fixture argnames where everything
-        from that point onward can be considered to execute after this fixture.
-        Everything before this point can be considered fixtures that this fixture
-        depends on, and so this fixture should register its finalizer with all of them
-        to ensure that if any of them are to be torn down, they will tear this fixture
-        down first.
-
-        This is the first part of the list of fixture argnames that is returned. The last
-        part of the list is everything in ``self.argnames`` as those are explicit
-        dependees of this fixture, so this fixture should definitely register its
-        finalizer with them.
