Thanks David, 1. Got it. One thing I'm still not very clear is why it's sufficient to select a metadata.version which is supported by majority of the quorum, but not the whole quorum (i.e. choosing the lowest version among all the quorum members)? Since the leader election today does not take this value into consideration, we are not guaranteed that newly selected leaders would always be able to recognize and support the initialized metadata.version right?
2. Yeah I think I agree the behavior-but-not-RPC-change scenario is beyond the scope of this KIP, we can defer it to later discussions.
