Hi Divij, I think we'll make that call a bit later depending on the progress we make on things like zk to kraft migration. The deprecation notice is meant to indicate that we recommend customers use kraft mode for new clusters and that zk mode will be going away in 4.0. It doesn't change the support we provide for the 3.x series.
