tracking ability to drop pydantic<2

[tlambert03]

Hey @jni, @DragaDoncila, @lucyleeow, @Czaki

No hurry on this, but just wanted to open an issue to track our ability to drop support for pydantic<2. Is this something you guys discuss?

[Czaki]

We have planned to drop pydantic 1.x in 0.6.0 (next release). It wil lbe nice if @jni confirm.
As I understnad it will bump app-model version to 0.5.0?

[tlambert03]

oh fun! ok great. sure, we can bump app-model to whatever version you like

[Czaki]

I need to check upper bound i napari 0.5.6.

The napari PR napari/napari#7589

I see that the napari PR has been merged. Would now be a good time to drop v1 support? I'm trying to update the pydantic version in Debian testing, and one of the obstacles is pydantic-compat, where I ran into the complications shown in pyapp-kit/pydantic-compat#29. I'm wondering if it would be easier to just drop it instead.

I could come up with a PR if that would be something you'd welcome (it looks like enough work that it seems worth checking in advance).

From napari's perspective we no longer need pydantic v1.x compatibility.
