Also debating on whether to add something based on this note from SPEC 0:
Core packages may or may not decide to provide bug fix releases during the full 2 year period after release. Therefore, projects may occasionally want to drop support for core package dependencies earlier than recommended by this SPEC. For instance, if a newer minimum version of a core package is needed by a project due to a critical bug fix, which is not backported to older versions.
E.g. we have pinned to xarray>=2023.04 at #3460 earlier than expected.
Maybe add a note like:
