Hi Greg,

I think new JDK support is a new feature rather than a bugfix. So we wouldn't 
include it in 3.9.x for that reason.

It may be a compatible new feature, of course (most new features are...) but 
still a new feature.

I'll comment more on the KIP-1006 thread... my main comment there is that I'd 
like to understand more about what actual Kafka release will remove 
SecurityManager before we vote (sounds like it won't be 4.0).

best,
Colin
