This is a concern I share and I think I've been pretty vocal about it.

I feel the state of python packages for Bookworm with 3.10 was pretty good and it seemed reasonable to prioritize stability for our next stable release :)

It's very frustrating to work on packaging python libraries and apps for a whole release cycle, just to see all that work put in the bin at the last minute because upstream doesn't support 3.11...

I've been told the current 3.11 transition was a test, and if it was clear too many important things were broken and couldn't be fixed, we would roll back and release using 3.10.
