Hi Konstantine, Looking at the schedule and some of the ongoing work in KIP-500 (one of the KIPs that is important to land in 3.0), I think we'll need a bit more time. We definitely do not want to cause a disruption to our time-based release process, but given that this is a major release, I think a small adjustment would make sense. I suggest we move the feature freeze and code freeze dates by 2 weeks and leave the KIP freeze as it is:
KIP Freeze: 09 Jun 2021 Feature Freeze: 30 Jun 2021 Code Freeze: 14 July 2021 This would ensure we have a solid 3.0 release. Thoughts?
