Anyone know if this means Arrow could be next? I assume GeoParquet is no longer needed; I wonder what happens to GeoArrow.

GeoParquet will still be used for bit since both the native geo types in parquet and geoparquet have slight differences. But, the ultimate goal is to shift all data / workloads to the parquet native geo in a couple of years!

Now, Apache Sedona is the first engine that will support that native geo type in parquet, but Arrow will also support it very soon.
