   > What are the exact use cases for summing timestamps? When does it make 
sense?
   
   @Dandandan  that is an excellent question. I will freely admit I was just 
heads down trying to get all the aggregates working rather than thinking if I 
*should* be working. I can't think of any time that `sum(timestamp)` really 
makes sense to be honest. 
   
   Do you think I should remove support for summing timestamps?
   
   As for AVG, I added a note to 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-12318 with your observation. 🤔 good 
question
