I'm curious about the current state of NumPy 1.x. Are there any Python packages that still have issues with NumPy 2.x and only work with the older version? It would be great if anyone could share their experiences with packages that might be stuck on NumPy 1.x today.

Absolutely, there are definitely some packages out there that still rely on NumPy 1.x. In fact, it's becoming a bit of a challenge since many small projects may lack the experience needed to update. PyPI has also introduced some hurdles with 2FA, which can make it tough for new developers to keep their packages updated.
It really doesn't require extensive experience. You can set up 2FA and get your token in less than half a minute!
Actually, with the new trusted publishers feature, setting up for publishing is quicker than before. Most newbies can get through the process in about 10 minutes—they've made it easier than ever.
