> It's between the burden for the user of two additional megabytes installed, vs. the burden for us of Well, the point is that we don't _have_ to do it at all. At no point in the 52 months since Apache Arrow started do I recall a user running the test suite out of a wheel or asking about doing so. If this is truly something that people need to be able to do, maybe an interested party can contribute it to the project? We've already expressed that we are going to limit our investment of time in maintaining wheels, and, from what I can tell, smaller wheels -> fewer complaints (here a 3% savings isn't that compelling but given that people are trying to squeeze pyarrow into deployments in AWS lambda that have to be < 250 MB including all dependencies, every megabyte does indeed count). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
