We should be constructing from the type of `v`. `pd.Index` also has a method `_shallow_copy` IIRC we could call,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,522402552 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3522#issuecomment-553553330,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/3522,553553330,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDU1MzU1MzMzMA==,10194086,2019-11-13T19:07:16Z,2019-11-13T19:14:48Z,MEMBER,"The culprit may be in `ds._rename_indexes`: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/40588dc38ddc2d573e3dc8c63b2e6533eb978656/xarray/core/dataset.py#L2662 where the index gets piped through `pd.Index` (even if it is not renamed): ``` python import pandas as pd pd.Index(ds.indexes['time']) ``` returns an `Index` instead of a `CFTimeIndex`","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,522402552 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/3522#issuecomment-553553607,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/3522,553553607,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDU1MzU1MzYwNw==,14808389,2019-11-13T19:07:58Z,2019-11-13T19:07:58Z,MEMBER,"also, you can simplify that to ```python print( ds.indexes, ds.rename().indexes, ds.rename_dims().indexes, ds.rename_vars().indexes, sep=""\n"", ) ``` and the type of the index still gets dropped (on master)","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,522402552
