> Arrow unfortunately can't work with the tz database from `tzdata`, because the underlying date library we use doesn't support the binary format, see #31472 and linked issues. I don't mind shipping arrow's vendored `WindowsZones.xml` in a pyarrow-specific location (i.e. site-packages). I think it would be better to do that than just fail? timezone-operations are pretty common (unless I misunderstand something), so not supporting that for the conda-forge builds would suck IMO -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
