That'd basically be starting over from scratch, when DuckDB already has a working extension for Substrait merged in to their main branch, there's lots of work already in progress for Ibis, there's obviously the Arrow consumer that would have to be completely rewritten, etc. I wouldn't call it "just a draft" anymore. What we could consider doing if this continues to be a problem is switch to an alternative protobuf library, like [upb](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/upb), but that'd probably also be a rewrite on our end. I suppose we could even fork protobuf to just add namespacing support (if no one else has done so already). I can't imagine that being very difficult, but it's obviously maintenance work (assuming Google doesn't want to merge it in). But maybe that's a bit naive of me. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
