Just to clarify, the KIP itself has mentioned about the change so the PR was not un-intentional:
" 3. Keep execution parameters uniform between both tools: It will execute by default, and have a `dry-run` parameter just show the results. This will involve change current `ConsumerGroupCommand` to change execution options. " We were agreed that the proposed change is better than the current status, since may people not using "--execute" on consumer reset tool were actually surprised that nothing gets executed. What we were concerning as a hind-sight is that instead of doing such change in a minor release like 1.1, we should consider only doing that in the next major release as it breaks compatibility. In the past when we are going to remove / replace certain option we would first add a going-to-be-deprecated warning in the previous releases until it was finally removed. So Jason's suggestion is to do the same: we are not reverting this change forever, but trying to delay it after 1.1.
