@dcherian @max-sixty is there a reason why this change wasn't incorporated into values.setter? This change blocks the ability to update coordinate values in-place. This breaks code in a more fundamental way than just requiring users to rely on assign_coords - it can necessitate a substantial change in code design for people who were relying on the ability to mutate coordinates. This also leads me to ask: was it really appropriate to call such a substantial breaking change only a patch?
