Thanks for the report. I think one resaon is that we import all the io libraries non-lazy (I think since the backend refactor). And many of the dependecies still use...

I just had another look at this using ```bash python -X importtime -c "import llvmlite" 2> import.log ``` and [tuna](https://github.com/nschloe/tuna) for the visualization. - pseudoNETCDF adds quite some overhead, but...

You could consider adapting NEP 29 - e.g. xarray currently supports h5py v3.1 and up. https://github.com/pydata/xarray/blob/3f7cc2da33d81e76afbfb82da57143b624b03a88/ci/requirements/min-all-deps.yml#L22 (also doesn't mean you _have_ to stop supporting stuff)

I _think_ I had issues with this because I had an old config file around - now it _seems_ to work without setting the environment variable.

Oh nice, didn't know about this - maybe I could use this for 2D masks in regionmask somehow. (It's always a bit a bummer that there is no way to...

Can you use the `PAMAuthenticator` instead of the `LDAPAuthenticator` if the user already has a home directory etc.? I use this setup and that works (for me).

For openSUSE Leap 15.2 which has systemd version 234 I got it to work by commenting the following two lines: https://github.com/jupyterhub/systemdspawner/blob/ee566d5989ca004bc6f4a3bf5a0a7cd332da2e90/systemdspawner/systemd.py#L98-L101 Now the folder is world-readable, however, the env file...

It might actually work via `property`. However, I could not really test it as the systemd version of my servers is still too old (currently: systemd 234; required systemd 244...

Can I recommend you have a look at the documentation - maybe 3D mask is more relevant for you: https://regionmask.readthedocs.io/en/stable/notebooks/mask_3D.html
