Description

In principle I think it is good to support as many formats as possible as getting data into the right format can be very frustrating for users. However there will be a limit of what we are willing to maintain as core team members.

Possible solutions

  • contrib or external module for "community maintained" IO functions vs. "core-team maintained" functions.
  • ensure formats are reasonably popular (e.g. 5/10 upvotes on the respective issue)
  • allow additional dependencies only in exceptional cases
