+                <p>We are proud to announce the release of Apache Kafka 3.6.0. 
This release contains many new features and improvements. This blog post will 
highlight some of the more prominent features. For a full list of changes, be 
sure to check the <a

+                    The ability to migrate Kafka clusters from a ZooKeeper 
metadata system to a KRaft metadata system is
+                    now considered stable and suitable for production

for KRaft clusters, therefor clusters
