Hi all,

at NumPy, I would like to rename quantile's `interpolation=` to `method=` and add a DeprecationWarning for it. But I realize that probably much more people use it through pandas than NumPy itself, so wondering if you have any inputs on it:

https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/20327

The reasons are: * interpolation was a reasonable name for variations of the default method. But, we added new methods (same as R's) and for those it does not quite fit. `method` is more descriptive. * I feel quite a few users might better of using a different method (if they did not use the default). This would nudge them to review the code. * Python's `statistics.quantils` uses `method` (although we do not offer the *same* names for the methods right now!)

But, if you think it is not worth the churn/noise, I could consider just sticking with `interpolation` for now, or delay giving a `DeprecationWarning`.

Cheers,
