Sorry I think I misunderstood the question. If that means ""should rename_dims also rename the (dimension) coordinates"", then I think the answer should be no. With the explicit indexes refactor coordinates and indexes are less tightly coupled, i.e., in the mid/long term we want to drop the concept of a ""dimension coordinate with an implicit index"". So I think `rename_dims` should only rename dimensions (and update indexes metadata accordingly, cf. my previous comment).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1275752720

Yes, renaming dimensions and/or coordinates should be properly handled by indexes. Xarray's `Index` abstract class provides a `rename` method that may (should) be implemented in subclasses.

For example, `PandasIndex` and `PandasMultiIndex` both have a `dim` attribute that must match the dimension name (this attribute is required as in a near future it will be possible to set indexes for non-dimension coordinates).

`PandasIndex.rename` (`PandasMultiIndex.rename`) also renames the underlying pandas index (levels) according to the new coordinate name(s).","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1275752720
