Ouch.

Do you intend this to mean "then (probably) don't backport it"?

so people who need stuff
that’s hard to backport, they should consider running bullseye already.

For Python modules such as pandas, there's also the option of installing them via pip:
  sudo apt-get install python3-pip
  pip3 install --user --upgrade pandas
This implies "no automatic security updates for that package", but that might be better than testing's "few-days-delayed security updates / less-tested versions of everything".
