Hi Divij, Thanks for calling out documentation issues. Some of them are being addressed in the existing documentation PRs. We will keep addressing the remaining documentation issues by making respective changes in kafka-site repo for 3.6.0 release.
I think documentation is important but I do not consider documentation issues as release blockers. I want others to review and test the release candidate sooner to finalize the RC for 3.6.0 release. ~Satish.
