its not even about the ingest, every major semver change now is a problem because now LLMs will need to contextually distinguish whether or not they are expected to output Pandas 2 or 3, unless ofc you explicitly prompt it.

I wouldn't worry about it because over a longer period, this automatically leans toward the more recent versions. There are multiple forces that exist to make this happen.

The main exception is for legacy code requiring maintenance when they are unwilling to upgrade Pandas.

yes but a lot of legacy code wil still need to be maintained and written. you dont see how this can be confusing/annoying?
