Thanks for sending the updated docs.  Can you please give everyone the
ability to comment?  I have some comments, but overall I think this is a
good proposal and addresses my prior concerns.

My only real concern is that I notice some mention of "must dos" for spark
3.0.  I don't want to make any commitment to holding spark 3.0 for parts of
this, I think that is an entirely separate decision.  However I'm guessing
this is just a minor wording issue, and you really mean that's a minimal
set of features you are aiming for, which is reasonable.
