Hi Rong Rong!

I would add the security / kerberos threads to the roadmap. They seem to be
advanced enough in the discussions so that there is clarity what will come.

For the window operator with slicing, I would personally like to see the
discussion advance and have some more clarity and consensus on the feature
before adding it to the roadmap. Not having that in the first version of
the roadmap does not mean there will be no activity. And when the
discussion advances well in the next weeks, we can update the roadmap soon.

What do you think?

Best,
Stephan
