Personally I'd deprecate pandas.plotting.boxplot more than anything else. Afaik it's the same as df.boxplot() or df.plot(kind='box'), each with a different implementation. But if we don't deprecate, my preference would be to try to make things as simple as possible, and avoid special cases. — You are receiving this because you commented.
