I agree that any modification of the shape/type of an xarray object should probably drop the original encoding. I don't know if a copy should drop the encoding though. I don't see why we shouldn't be able rountrip datasets via a open/load/copy/write workflow.,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,259935100
