Hey @SteveStevenpoor , Just FYI, I raised the same proposal earlier on the dev@ (I managed to find [it in the archives](https://lists.apache.org/thread/7tdkrkxy40y26f9d88mqlxgr0qdowwjq)), and I got mixed feedbacks. The reason against is that Iceberg conceptually wants to hide partitioning from the user, or in other words the user in theory shouldn't really know how the table is partitioned. ALTER TABLE DROP PARTITION goes somewhat against this mental model. If you need such a functionality I advise to start or revive the conversation on dev@ to see if there is community support for this. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
