Hi, https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/6282 isn't a blocker. It just a nice-to-have feature. So we can cut 0.16.0-rc0 right now without the PR. If there are any problems in the PR, I think that we should not wait for it. If we can merge it as-is, I want us to merge the PR and cut 0.16.0-rc0.
FYI: It adds the followings: * ARM users can install binaries by apt/yum/dnf * There is an issue for ARM packages. I'll share it by another thread. * All Debian/Ubuntu/Yum users can install old versions * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6893 They aren't provided in 0.15. So they are new features.
