Once the format is standard, it would then be a trivial PR to h5netcdf to suppress the warning. We've already gone through the exact same process for compression algorithms other than gzip. Adding the functionality to the NetCDF C library _and the python wrapper_ would be a completely different order of magnitude of work. Another good alternative is to use h5netcdf forcing the malformation through, and just call the file ``.h5`` instead of ``.nc`` 😉 If you really need to interact with (non-Python) people that are stuck on the NetCDF C library, and who for reasons I can't imagine can't switch to the HDF5 C library, I think writing two bespoke pre/postprocess functions in your code to add a dimension is the best approach.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,491215043
