Comment (by mggrant):

 No objections and no intent to delay this, but if you're tinkering with
 the recommendation line, you could also add a note that activating
 netcdf-4 internal compression is also preferable as a first option, where
 this is practical, e.g.

 "In cases where there is a strong constraint on dataset size and netcdf-4
 internal compression is unavailable or insufficient, it is allowed to pack
 the coordinate variables (using add_offset and/or scale_factor), but this
 is not recommended in general."
