I don't think this needs a vote, there is no functional change in the spec, it's just an additional technical recommendation that can go through the regular PR process.

Thanks all for the comments. I see Tom also put up a PR to add this to DuckDB 
[1].

Do we need a vote for this? If so unless there are further comments I think we 
can start one.

I am new to this board so please, let me know if any of this doesn't make
sense.

I am building a FligthSQL example with DuckDB backend. DuckDB already has
an Arrow interface defined in duckdb.h that returns ArrowArray. However,
the import is not guarded in any way, and ArrowArray is redefined in
duckdb.h, so including arrow/c/bridge.h throws an error that ArrowArray is
defined in multiple places.

I'd like to propose adding canonical guardrails in arrow/c/bridge.h to
avoid this. Is this the best way to do this?

It should probably be included in the spec:
