The linked email list thread in https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/49231 seems to be specific about deprecating the "Feather V1" reader/writer. And I definitely agree with deprecating V1, but the `pyarrow.feather` APIs are also used (and actually write that by default) to read/write the "Feather V2" / Arrow IPC file format, which is not deprecated. And I find it personally a bit unfortunate that we are deprecating the more user-friendly `pyarrow.feather` APIs without having a proper look at what it takes to replace this, or if we actually want to keep this as a more direct reader/writer interface as a small wrapper around `pyarrow.ipc`. (also, in the future, we should ideally do such deprecations with a DeprecationWarning first, before using a FutureWarning, to avoid users seeing this through downstream packages) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
