The feature freeze was postponed to July 24 (end of this week in Europe/early morning Monday in East Asia) in [1]. What's the 1.18 release managers' take on all the FLIPs that were recently started and require some deprecation work (which ideally should go into 1.18)? How does that work with the feature freeze happening by the end of this week?
- Do we plan to extend the feature freeze to allow deprecation changes to go in? - Do we consider depreciation work to be "not a new feature" which means that we're ok with merging them after the feature freeze? Best, Matthias [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/9fck1m5llrnv5gx1od05tzx84oy0b4z0
