At this point, I'm wondering whether we should depreciate a couple of things now or later:

  • Passing a multi-index directly as a coordinate in Dataset / DataArray constructors

Currently, level coordinates are implicitly created from the multi-index. Suggested behavior: treat the index as an array-like (single coordinate) by default and encourage passing it more explicitly, e.g., something like

python midx = pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays([[...], [...]], names=("foo", "bar")) coords, index = xr.PandasMultiIndex.from_pandas_index(midx, dim=“x”) ds = xr.Dataset(coords=coords, indexes={("foo", "bar"): index})

  • IndexVariable.level_names and IndexVariable.get_level_variable

  • Maybe #5732 too?
