Given the many +1's here, I've moved the PR to deprecate 3.4 to "ready for review", https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/14099
> Does it mean we will stop back-porting PRs to Spark 3.4 for 1.11? Not necessarily. There's a lot of Spark 3.4 backports already, https://github.com/apache/iceberg/commits/main/spark/v3.4 I suggest we continue to backport for consistency and then stop right after the 1.11 release.
