Sure. Take your time Ash. Just to give you more context (we can discuss this on Slack if you have questions or doubts, rather than here).
I think there are no "perfect" solutions here due to how "pandas" is built into our XCom processing and potential migration issues. There are **only** trade-offs. We discussed a few of those at the devlist. I'm also not entirely happy with what we came up with, but I think the issue here is choosing the "lesser evil". Unless of course we can find a solution that covers all potential issues here: a) risk of accidental migration issues to Pandas 3 by people without realising that it breaks both XCom **and** incompatibilities with Pandas 3 b) risk of "no easy downgrade" path when people - even knowingly - migrate to Pandas 3, only to realize later they need to downgrade. c) risk of not supporting Pandas 3 "today" for those who need it We must weigh all these risks. The trade-off we developed considers risks (a) and (b) more impactful than (c). Our approach is to deliberately add support for Pandas 3 in Airflow 3.4 while temporarily mitigating (a) and (b). But other trade-offs here are possible of course.
