> are we sure that preserving them is worth it? The short answer for why we do this is that people expect to be able to save a data.frame to a Parquet file and get the same thing back when they load it. Pandas took a similar approach (attaching metadata to the schema). The probably longer answer is that I'm not aware of `vctrs_extension_type` and what it does or does not do. Maybe some of this can be dropped (though for backwards compatibility, not entirely dropped yet). That said, I suspect that doesn't cover everything because I get failing tests without this code. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
