@tustvold @alamb @thinkharderdev @adriangb this one should be very uncontroversial and easy to review as it's just following through with the previously agreed upon deprecations. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks @brancz and @adriangb -- likewise this makes sense to me
cc @thinkharderdev @Dandandan @crepererum as I think your systems also use dict_id maybe in the past

…7968) # Which issue does this PR close? Closes #6356 # Rationale for this change Now that #7940 is merged, nothing useful can be done with the `dict_id` field, therefore, it is now safe to be removed from this requirement. This was also split out from: #7467 # What changes are included in this PR? No longer require the `dict_id` fields of two `Field`s of schemas being merged to be equal, as at this point the `dict_id` is only an IPC concern, and the fact that it is still in the struct definition is just legacy, marked for removal, we're just going through the proper procedure of deprecating and replacing the APIs that use it. # Are these changes tested? Tests passing. # Are there any user-facing changes? No API changes, just a behavior change, that was to be expected and desired due to the deprecations around the `dict_id` field. @alamb @adriangb @tustvold
