The purpose of the presets proposal is not to inform readers but to help users make a decision about which features to enable when writing a Parquet file.

For example, a user of PyArrow could, instead of passing an elaborate set of flags, call `pq.write_table(tab, 'file.pq', preset='2024-01')`.

Regards

Antoine.

approach? What is the hesitation to change version numbers?

The concept was introduced earlier in this thread by Antoine.
