[EPIC] Ibis expression API stability #8996

Open lostmygithubaccount opened 2 weeks ago

lostmygithubaccount commented 2 weeks ago

Acceptance criteria: the Ibis user-facing expression API is stabilized for 10.0+. While we will always reserve the right to make breaking changes, we are now in the place where stability is important for production dependencies. Organizations choosing Ibis should feel confident their code will work with minimal effort when upgrading to new versions.

After looking I think all of these are also part of Ibis expression API stability, dumping them here, I'll organize them by priority soon.
