Is astro-datalab compatible with astropy 6.1?

Question

I am working on an environment where I would like to both have astro-datalab installed and a different package. The other package installs and requires astropy 6.1
After creating the venv I first do:
pip install astro-datalab
But when installing the other package I get the following :
ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
astro-datalab 2.23.1 requires astropy<5.4.0,>=5.3.4; python_version >= "3.10" and python_version < "3.12", but you have astropy 6.1.0 which is incompatible.

So this makes me think that the latest version of astro-datalab is not compatible with astropy 6.1
Are there any plans to do this ?
(or do you have other suggestions?)

Hi, we are a bit slow, deliberately, with updating major packages, so that we can reliably maintain a coherent and functional software stack. We will certainly update our default kernels to astropy 6.x, but have not yet tested this sufficiently.

BTW, what you posted is basically an error. Is there any specific command or function call to astropy v6 that you need but isn't currently working? A short code snipped would help, thanks!

Sorry, I meant "what you posted is basically a *warning*". Meaning, often things still work fine after this kind of error. If you could provide specific imports or calls that don't work as expected, that'd be helpful. Thanks!
