Problem in title of this thread : it's Spring 2023, not Spring 2024
Cosmonaut Borisov will go to the ISS on an American shipMOSCOW, July 26 - RIA Novosti. The Russian cosmonaut, who, under the cross-flight program, will go to the International Space Station on an American spacecraft in the spring of 2024, will be Konstantin Borisov, according to an information posted in the Russian Space magazine.

MOSCOW, 26 July. /TASS/. The flight of cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov on the Crew Dragon spacecraft is scheduled for spring 2024. This was stated on Tuesday in the materials of the Russian Space magazine (the official publication of Roscosmos).

Unmanned mission are often out of order because one got delayed and the mission names don't get swapped around. If Boeing has a problem with their Crew-1 and SpaceX has to take up the fall of 23 mission, will SpaceX Crew-7 and crew-8 missions be out of order? Can one supplier take up a mission on short notice with the other guy's crew? I know there's a lot of prep and training for the particular capsule you're going to ride, but 6 months seems excessive. It wouldn't be the first time SpaceX stayed far enough ahead of requirements to take up the slack.

<snip>I think we all assume that after Starliner-1 flies, the Crew Dragon and Starliner CCP flights will strictly alternate unless something goes wrong, so each of them will fly annually. But I have not seen any formal statement that this is the case. could NASA decide to fly back-to-back Starliner flights in order to consume the already-committed six missions more quickly, maybe on a 2-to-1 basis? If so, Crew-7 would fly later than Spring 2024.

We have no idea if the Starliner might need some more work done on them. So early scheduling of back to back Starliner flights seems premature.
