Hi all, We had some discussion about this on the in-person dev sprint end of June, and I thought it would be good to have some public record of this as well. A pandas 0.25.0 release is close (the RC was released earlier this month), see https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/24950 For pandas 1.0, the current plan is to finally "just do it". The idea is that it should not take too long after 0.25.0, without additional major API changes (additions are fine of course) but with removing the current deprecated functionalities. Depending on how much feedback there is on 0.25.0 and on how smoothly it goes for removing deprecated stuff, we could (maybe optimistically) target September for that. Comments certainly welcome!
