Review Comment:
   At the top level, there do already exist comments that state that it is 
intended that all Arrow Arrays be immutable. I agree with the concern that 
adding a comment here specifically could be counterproductive. If you can think 
of a good place to put such a comment that would be more universal, I'd be more 
than happy to do so.
