| 1678587031 | I_kwDOAMm_X85kDTSX | 7777 | xarray minimum versions policy is more aggressive than NEP-29 | 6213168 | closed | 0 | 1 | 2023-04-21T14:06:15Z | 2023-05-01T22:26:57Z | 2023-05-01T22:26:57Z | MEMBER | What is your issue?In #4179 / #4907, the xarray policy around minimum supported version of dependencies was changed, with the reasoning that the previous policy (based on NEP-29) was too aggressive. Ironically, this caused xarray to drop Python 3.8 on Jan 26th (#7461), 3 months before what NEP-29 recommends (Apr 14th). This is hard to defend - and in fact it sparked discontent (see late comments in #7461). Regardless of what policy xarray decides to use internally, it should never be more aggressive than NEP-29. The xarray documentation is also incorrect, as it states "Python: 24 months (NEP-29)" which is not, in fact, in NEP-29. |
