> I noticed tonight that several functions from the *tidyselect* package are re-exported by *arrow*. Why is this necessary? In my opinion, the *arrow* R package should strive to have as few dependencies as possible and should have no opinion about which parts of the R ecosystem ("tidy" or otherwise) are used with it.
> I think it would be valuable to cut the *tidyselect* re-exports, and to make *feather::read_feather()*'s argument *col_select* take a character vector of column names instead of a "*tidyselect::vars_select()"* object. I think that would be more natural and would be intuitive for a broader group of R users.
> Would you be open to removing *tidyselect* and changing *feather::read_feather()* this way?
