+1 (non-binding) As the author of competing KIP (KIP-1176: Tiered Storage for Active Log Segment), I am supporting KIP-1150 as KIP-1150 represents the right long-term architecture for Kafka in the cloud.

Since the previous vote, the KIP has been substantially updated to address community feedback. As a reminder, KIP-1150 is a motivational KIP intended to establish the architectural direction for diskless topics. The specific implementation details are delegated to separate sub-KIPs, which will be discussed and voted on individually. To give you a concrete idea of the path forward, KIP-1163 is already in an almost-ready-for-review state, so you can see where we are heading after this.
