Dear Kafka Team, I would like to request permission for the Kafka Confluence in order to submit a KIP.
My Confluence username is: unknowntpo I am planning to write a KIP for KAFKA-20411: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20411 The proposal is to deprecate org.apache.kafka.common.utils.Utils, introduce org.apache.kafka.common.utils.internals.Utils for Kafka internal usage, and remove the old org.apache.kafka.common.utils.Utils class in Kafka 5.0.0. Thank you very much for your support! Best regards, Eric Chang
