@simonjayhawkins, thanks for the answer!

[simonjayhawkins]

#45637 was labelled a blocker following the discussion in the April dev meeting. It is probably only truly a blocker for the final 1.4.x release.

There are now sufficient fixes to warrant a 1.4.3 release and there are plenty of open issues milestoned 1.4.3 to almost guarantee another release in 1.4.x if we do 1.4.3 now.

so i think safe (but not ideal) to ignore the blocker label on #45637 and proceed with the 1.4.3 release

also several regressions (#46983, #46848, #47172 and #47188) all pointing back to #43406 (the fix for #46848 would be orthogonal)

3 open PRs #46951, #46562 and #47097

[ ] wheels building [DO NOT MERGE] test wheel build status of 1.4.x branch MacPython/pandas-wheels#173

Travis CI (used for aarch64 on PyPI) is not running on the test PR. Should run on release, but it would not surprise me in the least if this fails as we have changed our min req version of Cython. (conda-forge/pandas-feedstock will probably also need an update, will probably do the release PR manually rather than waiting for bot)
