GitHub user tuhaihe added a comment to the discussion: [Ideas] Remove Bundled 
Python Packages in Cloudberry Main Repo

Yes, I understand that not all discussions can engage more people. However, we 
still need to try to make the major change process open to the public. I'm glad 
to see your response, and I appreciate your great question.

I cannot guarantee that the pip-installed packages function properly. I see 
that they are just tarball files, and we haven't altered them at all since they 
were imported.

I blamed these files' commit history and found that they were imported by the 
PR https://github.com/apache/cloudberry/pull/16, which was used in the obsolete 
CI/CD workflow following the GP compile method. And more, before our Cloudberry 
init commits, they were referenced as a submodule from here - 
https://github.com/vmware-archive/pythonsrc-ext/tree/135d649aef8b70eb4ee8ec824f869026ac3f2b28
 in the GP repo, then were changed in the commit 
https://github.com/greenplum-db/gpdb-archive/commit/2419657827ce0b3314aed29777108b0ae0414ce5
 - as GP decided to change their building tool on which they were unable to 
fetch submodules from outside repos. In this commit, GP developers said users 
can also install these packages from PyPI.

Given the license management for ASF compliance, I want to explore the 
possibility of installing them by the pip way, but it will certainly be an 
experiment. If you can provide more information, I would appreciate your help.

Love to hear more feedback on this topic.
