+1 Thanks Joe.
The following are very minor issues that I think don't matter at all, but we can keep in mind for future releases: - won't fix issues still show up in the release notes (the go client jiras for e.g.,) - In http://people.apache.org/~joestein/kafka-0.8.0-candidate3/kafka_2.8.0-0.8.0.tar.gz we package the perf scripts (for producer/consumer) but don't include the perf jar. So maybe those scripts should be removed (and same for run-rat.sh). Can you file a jira for this?
