Binding: Russell Spitzer Yufei Gu Steven Wu Ryan Blue Non-binding: Xuanwo Maximilian Michels Anoop Johnson Vaquar Khan Neelesh Salian Thanks everyone for reviewing. I'll merge #17783 <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/17783>. Ryan left suggestions on the PR for restructuring how the delete sections present DVs versus the legacy representations. I'll follow up with a separate PR for those.
