Hi all,

Thanks Adnan for driving the RC, and thanks to everyone for verifying!

Adding an additional point from an offline discussion: In RC2, we should
only include the wheel distribution for python client, because the Python
client's sdist (tar.gz) includes a spec file copied from Apache Iceberg and
client's LICENSE/NOTICE currently does not properly document that. The
wheel is universal, so itself should still work in most use cases.

Best regards,
Jonas
