> Attempts to use the affine transform to translate are going wrong Could you elaborate a bit more on that? Using the new transform and size, you should be able...

There's always going to be a tradeoffs between the in-memory and on-disk approaches. It would be great to make this configurable so the user could make the decision based on...

Here's an implementation of `rio-merge` that implements the windowed-disk approach: https://github.com/mapbox/rio-merge-rgba It's optimized for internally tiled RGBA rasters. The README explains how this differs from the current rio merge, why...

I'm tackling this in the [`coverage-quest` PR](https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio/pull/640).

With #779, I'm comfortable with our current > 99% coverage. There is work to be done still but not enough value to blocking a 1.0 release. TBH I'd rather work...

This might overlap with https://github.com/mapbox/rasterio/pull/776 a bit?

@eseglem A lot of the S3 challenges have been addressed in other tickets (see e.g. #511, #538). The key for this ticket is mostly going to involve translating identifiers from...

@grovduck Interesting! I've definitely needed raster attribute tables from time to time and better support would be a great addition to rasterio. I don't think we should add dependencies, so...

A related question: should we support raster attribute table _writing_ in addition to reading? ArcInfo Grids are the canonical format for using RATs but it is not writable. However, GDAL...

I think we'd want to leave the serialization and writing of RATs entirely up to GDAL. The discussion on the rasterio end is more about what data structure we use...
