Hi all, We find that there are many releases of Kafka and not all the bugs are back ported to the older releases. Can we have a LTS (Long Term Support) release which can be supported for 2 years with all the bugs back-ported?
This will be very helpful as during the last 2-3 releases, we often have the cases where the api of producers/consumers changes and the bugs are only fixed in the newer components. Also, many people who are on the older versions treat the latest release of that series is the stable one and end up with bugs in production. I can volunteer for the release management of the LTS release but as a community, can we follow the rigour of back-porting the bug-fixes to the LTS branch? -- Regards Vamsi Subhash
