How are you defining that?  python3-defaults 3.11.6+ in testing?  (I was 
previously told 3.12-supporting pandas and numpy in testing, which has 
happened.  I don't think any of these 25 packages are on 
https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=python3-defaults , but I 
haven't checked carefully, and at least influxdb-python and tqdm do have 
what I suspect are Python 3.12 related issues.)

What exactly do you want not done until then?   Just not uploading 
pandas 2.x to unstable, or is it also a problem to have these bugs 
marked as RC in the BTS?  (In all 22 cases that are in testing at all, 
the bug is also present in the version in testing, so it being RC 
shouldn't block migration.)

It isn't.
