   > where are we on variant support in general? Is it sufficiently mature that 
people could reasonably expect to use it starting with arrow-57? If not, what 
is missing and how hard would it be to add?
   
   From my perspective, we are "done enough" with the initial implementation
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/6736
   
   Though there are plenty of additional work / items listed here: 
   - https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/8480
   
   
   What I am personally focusing on now is the initial attempts to integrate 
variant in downstream crates, notably 
   1. @friendlymatthew 's work in 
https://github.com/datafusion-contrib/datafusion-variant -- see 
https://github.com/datafusion-contrib/datafusion-variant/issues/2 for status
   2. @XiangpengHao 's work in 
https://github.com/XiangpengHao/liquid-cache/issues/392 in LiquidCache
   
   What I am hoping / expecting now is that we'll get a stream of tickets of 
rough edges and API issues to help guide where next to spend time
