I can certainly see a case for taking a more relaxed approach to _FillValue and missing_value, e.g., masking on both rather than raising an error. I'm not sure that it's actually more user friendly to ignore missing_value for masking.

This part of xarray is very old (added in https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/245), before almost anyone outside Climate Corporation was using it. So I'm certainly open to revisiting this, but let's make sure we get the decision right this time.

Does anyone else with lots of experience with different netCDF files have opinions here? Maybe @dopplershift?
