Review Comment:
   That's a good argument @Fokko . Especially in a world where we are 
potentially moving the work of doing table scans into the Rest Catalog, 
compacting manifests on write isn't important for this function that already 
looks to prioritize commit speed over anything else.
   
   I think it makes sense to leave the function to use _fast_append_ and let 
the users rely on other means of optimizing their table scans.
