    > We don’t aim to make a big feature release of Polars 2.0. In fact we hope it to be a boring experience for you. The reason we bump this major version is that we can get rid of design decisions made in the past that currently block us and then we want to change defaults to more sensible settings that will benefit a greater audience

    I know this take reveals me as a very dull person, but I love seeing projects take semver seriously like this! Version bumps should really be about removing deprecated cruft rather than shiny new features.

    I've used polars for a while now, and their focus on stability was a big part if convincing me to make the jump initially!

      "Tranquil development" (vs. "hype-driven shipping") :)

    Seeing "release will land in the following weeks" kind of immediately turns me off.
