One additional issue. It seems like pint has some odd behavior with dask. Multiplication (and I assume addition) is not commutative:

This would be a good issue to fix upstream, by resolving whether dask should wrap pint or pint should wrap dask :).

I would really like to see units support in xarray, and I'm just wondering what the barrier to contribution to this issue is? Like is this a "leave @shoyer to it" kind of task? Or is it something which less experienced developers (such as myself) can help with?

I don't think there's a huge barrier to entry here and I would encourage someone else to dive into this. We could start by adding an experimental flag to xarray to disable coercing everything to numpy arrays, and do some experiments to see what works.
