Hi,
I just found a new blocker for 4.4:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-21025
Please let me know if you think it's not a blocker. Will open a PR for
it shortly.

Hi Mickael
The fix looks cool, so +1 to backporting it to the 4.4 branch
BTW, I left a comment (
https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/23258#discussion_r3881351602)
Best,

Hi,
I merged https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/23258 to trunk.
It should help avoid a data loss scenario on clean shutdown.
Can we apply it to 4.4?
Thanks,
Mickael

Unfortunately, there is another blocker (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20970) - I forgot to add the
4.4 label :(
It is almost there, and I will take another look soon

hi Omnia
I have filed a blocker issue (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-20982) to correct the
docker-compose SASL settings, which currently block clients from
connecting
to the SASL listeners.
Best,
