Looks like all the changes Peter linked above are now merged. I also merged the Azure PR (https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/16186), thanks for catching this.
For the "GCS Analytics Core" issue, here's how I understand it: - Users using `gcp-bundle` are fine, confirmed by Yuya in Trino, since the bundle includes `gcs-analytics-core` in its shadow jar. - Users using just `iceberg-gcp` (for GCSFileIO, etc.) will see `NoClassDefFoundError` even though `gcs.analytics-core.enabled` defaults to false. *So `gcs-analytics-core` is a new required dependency to use GCSFileIO, because analytics-core classes are eagerly loaded regardless of configuration.* I also verified all 3 cloud bundles (AWS, Azure, GCP) for similar issues and didn't find any additional cases.
