In the case of the package upstreams being responsive I will work with
upstreams to fix (a bunch of fixes already in progress). If the
upstream is dead I will work with the Fedora maintainers to work out
what they wish to do. There's a couple of packages that I don't think
actually work with pandas 2.x, there were changes/deprecations in 2.x
to prepare for the 3.x release, even though they build against pandas
2.3.x and I suspect those packages are broken and likely aren't used.

Yes, there's a pandas3 copr referenced in the change in the testing
section ;-) A bunch of the current broken should be fixed with the
pandas 3.0.1 release due this week. I will do another rebuild in copr
once that is tagged.
