When I was checking the documentation for RC1 after the tag was pushed, I noticed that the fix Rajini mentioned in the RC0 vote thread ( https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/8979 <https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/8979/files#diff-369f0debebfcda6709beeaf11612b34bR20-R21>) and merged to the `2.6` branch includes the following comment about being deprecated in 2.7: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/8979/files#diff-369f0debebfcda6709beeaf11612b34bR20-R21 .
Rajini, can you please check the commits merged to the `2.6` do not have the reference to 2.7? Since these are JavaDocs, I'm assuming that we'll need to cut RC2. But it'd be good for everyone else to double check this release.
