Version incompatibilities of dask and pandas

[observingClouds]

The CI currently fails due to the following version incompatibility: dask/dask#10164

Error message from failing CI:

Datashader is actually pinning pandas<2 for now: holoviz/datashader#1198 (comment), but this should be unnecessary after pydata/xarray#7785 has been released.

[d70-t]

The CI is now green again and the mentioned xarray change apparently has also been released. I guess the issue can now be closed.
