   Sorry for the late reply, but personally I am still not in favor of merging 
this _unless_ we first have a discussion about what exactly we regard as public 
cython API and document this.
   
   This PR will break for example the current `cudf` package. Of course it's an 
easy fix for them to just change the import, but if they do change that import, 
do we then give any guarantee that we won't change it again in the future? 
(i.e. do we "bless" the usage of this cython API, or do we actually want that 
they do not use this cython API at all?) 
   And if they change the import, they would (with the current PR) need to 
import it from a private module (`pyarrow._ipc`), which seems to indicate that 
they actually shouldn't do that.
