I was wondering if we should use mode=replace instead of running a manual DROP TABLE statement. I can have other PR for this patch if it makes sense...

Hi @erfannariman o/.
You were the only member of @pandas-dev to participate in the discussion of the issue - and that's why I @ you here :).
The PR is open for a while now and I just wanted to know if:

1. there's still interest in this feature;
2. Is there something I can do to help the reviewing process ?

Thanks in advance.

I reacted in the PR. Let's wait a couple days to see if we get some responses from others. If not, feel free to ping me again.
