I've discussed this a bunch with @dcherian (though I'm not sure he necessarily agrees, I'll let him comment)

Currently xarray uses `ddof=0` for `std` & `var`. This is:
- Rarely what someone actually wants — xarray data is almost always a sample of some underlying distribution, for which `ddof=1` is correct
- Inconsistent with [pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.var.html)

OTOH:
- It is consistent with [numpy](https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/generated/numpy.var.html)
- It wouldn't be a painless change — folks who don't read deprecation messages would see values change very slightly
