The main reason is that this will better fit within Xarray's (forthcoming) updated data model with explicit indexes (so far we kept those tuple coordinates to make multi-index work with the concept of a ""dimension"" index coordinate, but this will no longer be necessary). I see how convenient it is here to use those tuple coordinates as hue (legend) labels to show the value combinations, but there must be other ways to do that. For example, you could simply assign a new coordinate to the `DataArray` with tuple values (i.e., `mi.values`) without attaching any index to it.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,735523592
