-1 (binding) I'm aborting this vote due to a risk of regressions in topic policies introduced by fixes included in 4.2.3-candidate-1. The issues have been addressed in the following PRs: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/26132 https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/26134
Beyond fixing the regressions, these changes also harden the topic policy stability improvements included in 4.2.3-candidate-1. Additionally, 4.2.3-candidate-2 will include an important geo-replication stability fix: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/pull/26106 I'll start the vote for 4.2.3-candidate-2 as soon as possible.
