yes, especially people like me who do central software installations in a HPC cluster (for example with EasyBuild) and who want to have full control over the package versions that are installed (which is essential for scientific reproducibility).
this is indeed a small minority, but note that a lot of people are using our centrally installed packages.

indeed, I should have read the docs more carefully.

it's a bit annoying though: from the requirements I expected that numpy 1.19 would provide full support for all methods that xarray provides. maybe you could add a comment to the setup.cfg file along the lines of  ""recommended numpy version  >= 1.22"" to better indicate this?

I am not a direct user of this package, I just install it for our HPC users, but your suggestions to improve the error message and docs seem good to me.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1328259769
