Hi Kirk, Thanks for your email. KT01: During the migration period, using both --producer-props and --producer-property is an error. If they use --producer-props, it works and they get a deprecation warning. If they use --producer-property, it works with no warning. I have updated the KIP accordingly.
I don't really like --command-config either, but I don't think it's ambiguous as such. It's just a bit generic to my way of thinking.

Yes, the inconsistency drives me crazy :) Just one initial question: KT01: During the migration period where both command line arguments are supported (e.g. --producer-props and --producer-property), which takes precedence? I'm not ecstatic about the existing naming of "--command-config" because it's ambiguous, but that's a battle for another day...
