Description

I would like to check our baseline modules with https://lvc.github.io/abi-compliance-checker/ to ensure that version upgrades are much smoother and that we don‘t break the ABI in patch releases.

As we‘re pre-1.0 yet, I accept that there will be breakage but I would like to keep them to a minimum. Currently the biggest pain with Arrow is you need to pin it in Python always with ==0.x.y, otherwise segfaults are inevitable.
