Is the ADBC driver for Delta-RS still in progress or has this feature been abandoned?

That's been put on hold for now
The roadmap right now is outdated; it's for the first half of this year. We should create an updated one soon

That would be nice to have, currently most things point to the ADBC driver.
What is the impact actually, does it mean all operations in rust-datafusion will get bindings in Python?
Or will python only keep basic functionality

The Python bindings were written to use PyArrow to interact with data files, because Rust's Parquet writers weren't that mature at the time. We'll change to use all Rust-based readers / writers, so the Python bindings will share most of the code paths with Rust.
