Hey Luke,

It's been a while since the last update on this, which is mostly my fault
for picking up
other things in the meantime. I'm planning to get back to work
on KAFKA-12477 next
week but there are minimal changes to the current implementation given the
proposal
I put forth earlier in this KIP discussion, so I think we're good to go.

Although this KIP no longer requires a major release since it should be
fully compatible, I
still hope we can get it in to 3.0 since cooperative rebalancing is a major
improvement to
the life of a consumer group (and its operator). Can we make sure the KIP
reflects the latest
and then kick off a vote by next Monday at the latest so we can make KIP
freeze?

Thanks!
Sophie
