   Hi- I think supporting the native s3table interface has merit; in particular 
because the rest path involves an extra hop (and involvement with the glue team 
in AWS)... and more tangibly, might suffer from issues like this one: 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/2511, which has had a major 
impact on our data flows for over a month.  AWS confirmed that this was _only_ 
a problem with rest / glue, whereas native s3table interactions would not have 
been impacted (and we're still waiting for the fix to be deployed).  It would 
be great if we could just swap out a different catalog that interacts directly 
with s3tables.  I'm a bit disappointed to find that 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg-python/issues/1404 was closed (and likely 
this PR abandoned) in favor of only supporting rest interactions.  Can we 
revisit that decision? Thanks all 🙏
