Hi Wei-Chiu, This is an important trade-off to consider. There is some discussion in the JIRA issue comments relevant to this topic. To summarize, we prefer closer integration with the ASF community as we continue to evolve this FileSystem. It's true that releases will operate at a different cadence, but vendors are equipped to release on their own schedule. We think this is the right choice overall.
