Evening folks,

I apologize if this is not the appropriate venue for this request; if
that's the case, please let me know where I should be asking:

Earlier this month Dependabot flagged a security vulnerability with PyArrow
which prompted us to do an upgrade from v10 to v14.1 of the software.
Obviously this is a lot of major versions so the upgrade was subjected to a
bunch of tests but, alas, there was a breaking change to the way PyArrow
handled time precision that slipped through the cracks.

Upon review I'm not sure how that change could possibly have been caught.
The change-logs for the package are a verbose dump of all of the PRs
included in the release.  Working out which of them constitute a breaking
change and what the implications are of that change is difficult.

Is this something that could be addressed in the project?
