FWIW, I think it's best for this sort of utility to live in its own small standalone package, which I have referred to as ""xarray-mergetool"" in the past. NCML could be one special case of the things it could it. It would also be very useful for intake-esm. We have also discussed this in https://github.com/NCAR/esm-collection-spec/issues/12 We should have some bandwidth to work on this over the next year via the pangeo-forge project.
