Team, I'm thinking it might be worthwhile to spin up a 1.19.1. Want to be respectful of everyone's time as I realize these votes aren't always easy to participate in.
The main reason has to do with the registry/client changes and how that has been creating problems for people as they upgrade past 1.16. We thought it was sorted in 1.19 but not so - as shown in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10874. For those watching in Slack this has been biting several users lately. I'll sweep up existing already landed items that are easily ported over. I do realize we've got the nar plugin being updated to help detect dupe dependencies in nar chains as well as to help with reproducible builds but we could pull that in for 1.19.2 if we have one but certainly 1.20. Thanks
