Yes! I would be in favour of this since it's blocking us from upgrading
certain dependencies.
I would also be in favour of dropping Scala completely but that's a
different story.

Hi Everyone,
Think of this as a pre-flip, but what does everyone think about dropping
Scala 2.11 support from Flink.
The last patch release was in 2017 and in that time the scala community has
released 2.13 and is working towards a 3.0 release. Apache Kafka and Spark
have both dropped 2.11 support in recent versions. In fact, Flink's
universal Kafka connector is stuck on 2.4 because that is the last version
with scala 2.11 support.
What are people's thoughts on dropping Scala 2.11? How many are still using
it in production?
