Thanks for starting this discussion. Mid-September sounds good. My current project, multi-location reuse is still not robust enough to be released (need more testing and bug fixes). I may need more than a month for the pending tasks. In that case, we may need to push the release by a month.
A major release with JDK 17 and Spark 4 sounds great. However, besides those I would love to see a well-integrated and robust GPU backend in SystemDS 4.0. Regards, Arnab..
