Thanks for the ping @jrbourbeau . It's not a blocker but if possible we'd like dask/distributed#8216 to get in

[jrbourbeau]

Will start pushing out the release in the next few minutes...

2023.9.3 is on PyPI and the dask-core + distributed packages on conda-forge have been updated. We're seeing some failure with the dask conda package CI here conda-forge/dask-feedstock#240 (cc @jakirkham for visibility)

Closing as we're past the blip on conda-forge

Thanks @jrbourbeau
