   Thank you for the ping!
   
   Just a note that I don't think this clarification is needed...a Cartesian 
bounding box like the one described here is perfectly legal in for the geometry 
type in GeoArrow's box type, GeoParquet's file metadata, GeoJSON, Parquet 
GeoStatistics, and the current Iceberg spec (even though all of these allow for 
the wraparound case as well). I personally found it to be a nice simplification 
that evaluating a filter expression against a Parquet GeoStatistics is the same 
whether the type is GEOMETRY or GEOGRAPHY.
   
   I'll save my comments regarding the possibility of a "linear" edge algorithm 
for the GEOGRAPHY type for the PR implementing that change (the short version 
is: call it something other than GEOGRAPHY because that's not what that type 
means in any other database, file format, or spec of which I am aware).
