hi José Actually, we did NOT extend the code freeze :)
The only commits we are pushing to the 4.4 branch right now are to revert incomplete KIPs. KAFKA-16517 is a kind of performance optimization, right? If so, it doesn't seem necessary for 4.4.0. Please correct me if I am wrong. Best, Chia-Ping José Armando García Sancio via dev <[email protected]> 於 2026年8月13日週四 上午12:28寫道： > Hi Chia-Ping, > > Thanks for volunteering to release 4.4.
