> 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. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
