Good plan.

Sounds good, are we confident enough that Backports should become few
enough, I guess?

It is a great time for that if anyone wants to pick that up!

The dtypes will move forward. Maybe we have to see how 1.17 goes. I
expect that most users should not notice that much, but it will mean
touching quite a lot of code. I am slightly worried that it collides
with the "settle down" of 1.17 changes.

I may revive oindex/vindex, but that is nothing specific to 1.18 and
should be a safe addition with respect to compatibility/breaking
things.
