> I think providing `Eq` that implements an exact match is not only consistent with the trait, but also important for things like tests. Well, but then it seems like the library is making assertions about what `Schema` equality means. But yes, I do see your point that practically speaking removing `PartialEq` / `Eq` implementations would likely cause more pain than it was worth Making it easier (and clearly documented) to compare schemas with different, common ideas of equality (e.g. ignore list field names) I think would add significant value by avoiding seemingly unnecessary schema mismatch issues -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
