   > @JoshRosen , this backporting PR looks exceptional to me because we don't 
do this usually. Just a question. Did we break any binary compatibility from 
3.4.x somewhere?
   
   @dongjoon-hyun, you're right that previously this has not been standard 
practice. From the check results, OSS Apache Spark 3.5.2-snapshot remains 
binary-compatible with 3.5.0 and, transitively, because 3.5.0 was binary 
compatible with 3.4.0 and so it should also be compatible with 3.4.0 and so on.
   
   I'm proposing this change because:
   
   - It doesn't _hurt_ and, strictly speaking, strengthens our tests to detect 
more potential incpompatibilies.
   - It slightly reduces merge conflicts for any future patches in 4.x which 
need to be backported to 3.5.x and involve new MiMa excludes (such as 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-46480)
   - It reduces merge conflicts / simplifies certain workflows in our internal 
fork of Spark (where we also use MiMa checks).
