I suppose the case for removing DataArray.T is that you don't really need a shortcut for transposing arrays in xarray, since most functions don't rely on dimension order. And of course the real motivation: some weather/climate scientists like to use a variable named T for time :).

The counter-argument would be that T is found on most other numpy array-like types, including pandas.DataFrame. I've definitely used .T as a convenient shortcut myself in some cases.

I guess that puts me at -0 for deprecating DataArray.T. But we can merge this already, and leave that for a separate discussion.
