   > This is almost assuredly a breaking change because deserialization 
behavior will change when TimeZones isn't loaded either directly or through 
some other package
   
   Regardless of breakingness, I'm not sure this is a good idea, since the 
[Arrow format itself has a notion of 
`timezone`](https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/641201416c1075edfd05d78b539275065daac31d/format/Schema.fbs#L360),
 I think it makes sense that Arrow.jl itself can deserialize a table with such 
types (e.g. coming from another language), without needing to load another 
package.
   
   IMO it would be better to try to fix invalidation / other sources of 
re-compilation in TimeZones itself, or otherwise improve it's load time, rather 
than making it optional.
