Jeff Reback gave a presentation on the roadmap for Pandas at PyData NYC 2022 [0]. In it, he basically says that pandas is used so widely in industry that big breaking changes are a non-starter, there won't be any radical changes to the API, but more performant implementations can/will be built into the library (although not set as defaults, at least not for a long while). Not a revolutionary leap, but a move towards making Wes McKinney's Arrow work more accessible through pandas.
