As discussed on the contributor call, we collectively agreed to try something new to determine scope for 4.0. Rather than going ticket by ticket or "asking for forgiveness" and having people move things out individually, we've flagged all tickets in the 4.0 scope that are still open with the fixversion '4.0-triage' with the intent to "opt things in".
Link: https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20cassandra%20and%20fixversion%20%3D%204.0-triage If there's a ticket you want to keep in the 4.0 release, please edit the ticket and remove the '4.0-triage' fixversion. Let's target having this done by End of Day Friday, October 9th (one week from now). If you don't have access to remove that fixver from a ticket, please reach out to me (jmckenzie), Jordan West, or Jon Meredith on the-asf slack in #cassandra-dev or via DM and we'll help you out. At the end of day on Oct 9th, we'll go through and move every ticket that still has 4.0-triage into 4.0.x and have our scope for 4.0 GA. Sound good? ~Josh
