> > I've heard a lot of arguments in the R package that we should avoid increasing developer friction because there isn't much maintainer time available. This will add to absolutely add friction. Do the benefits outweigh the friction here? > Can you clarify what friction you mean? I don't see that much, only in arrow/r/src files, which aren't updated much, or is there more things it'll impact? I'm also thinking about the bumps we'll need to do as part of the release process to move the versions forward, remove old case statements, write messaging around these warning folks if they are in a situation where a feature isn't supported with a specific pairing (both in docs and in the package itself). None of it is major or so much I think we shouldn't do this, but I've heard in other places that folks wanted to absolutely minimize the release tasks because there was limited bandwidth (one specific discussion I remember was around options during the build system reconfiguration back in October and what options we were supporting there). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
