   > Just curious -- if we knew about this prior to merging #12864, would we 
still merge it?
   
   I think we would have had the same discussion we are having now -- is the 
benefit gained from https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/12864 worth the 
potential regression in a feature that maybe worked by accident. I also think 
it is reasonable to have different opinions on the cost/benefit analysis, for 
what it is worth
   
   The conversation would have been different if there had been tests showing 
someone was relying on the old behavior
   
   In such cases I normally default to going with the person contributing the 
change / putting in the effort to maintain it. If someone else was relying on 
the feature they'll tell us with a PR / issue in the future
   
   I do wish we had infinite capacity to make the software perfect, but given 
we are constrained with resources I think we need to be pragmatic and align the 
contributions.
