Hi Aljoscha, I'm lightly leaning towards keeping the 0.10 connector, for Kafka 0.10 still has a steady user base in my observation.
But if we drop 0.10 connector, can we ensure the users would be able to smoothly migrate to 0.11 connector/universal connector? If I remember correctly, the universal connector is compatible with 0.10 brokers, but I want to double check that.
