   > Otherwise, Streams app that run with 2.8 and before might not be 
compatible with Streams 3.0 because the retention time of the changelog topics 
created with older Streams apps will be smaller than the assumed retention time 
for Streams apps in 3.0.
   
   Why would this be fatal? It seems in 3.0 the retention time would 
potentially become _larger_ (if a new changlog topic is created). And for any 
existing application, we won't reconfigure the topic config. While I agree that 
we should keep the behavior in-sync, I don't see how there could be data loss? 
-- Note that if the old behavior has a shorter retention time, it would be a 
"bug" if the state store keeps stuff longer now, but it won't be a regression 
with regard to data loss, as we never guaranteed to keep the data longer than 
in the old behavior case. (Ie, we ignore `maintainMs()` / `retention()` 
configuration anyway).
