I think we had assumed that producers would always produce the most compatible output possible by default unless requested otherwise, although it is probably more natural for a producer to want to produce the output that involves the least amount of copying (which would lead to a situation like the one you described). We still might need a request flag (like [PyBUF_SIMPLE](https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/buffer.html#c.PyBUF_SIMPLE) since it is reasonable that a producer would only want to export the exact layout they have (as opposed to doing extra work to make it potentially easier to consume). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
