For the latter, we need to figure out a rule, though. For `setuptools` we had ""42 months, but no older than 40.4"", where `40.4` was the oldest version of `setuptools` installable from `conda-forge`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1118113789 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/6207#issuecomment-1025228982,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/6207,1025228982,IC_kwDOAMm_X849G8C2,14808389,2022-01-30T20:54:39Z,2022-01-30T20:54:39Z,MEMBER,"just for the record, we decided that packaging related tools (i.e. `setuptools`, not sure if that also applies to `packaging`) should be released just before the earliest supported python version, so we would have to decide between `19.2` and `20`. However, since the release notes of `packaging` state that `20` is the first version to officially support `py38` I'd say using `packaging>=20` should be uncontroversial.","{""total_count"": 4, ""+1"": 4, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1118113789 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/6207#issuecomment-1024993880,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/6207,1024993880,IC_kwDOAMm_X849GCpY,14808389,2022-01-29T21:55:50Z,2022-01-29T21:55:50Z,MEMBER,"no, I think we should still add `packaging` to the dependencies, even if it doesn't cause any failures: we unconditionally import it in at least `xarray.core.pycompat`. We need to add a reasonable minimum version, though.","{""total_count"": 3, ""+1"": 3, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1118113789
