There are better approaches to set the version number than to use this heavy weight module. For instance setuptools_scm.

Looks like it is still required to retrieve the version number at runtime for python versions < 3.8, unless we agree to temporarily depend on the importlib_metada backport.

As far as I could see, the module is used to set the version number of xarray

It is also used for the backend entry-points and for loading a couple of static css/html files for the html reprs. I don't know if there are better approaches for this, though.
