I started a discussion last year about bumping the version of the June 2018 release to 2.0.0[1]. To reiterate the reasons in the original post: 1. Adopt KIP-118 (Drop Support for Java 7), which requires a major version bump due to semantic versioning. 2. Take the chance to remove deprecated code that was deprecated prior to 1.0.0, but not removed in 1.0.0 (e.g. old Scala clients) so that we can move faster. One concern that was raised is that we still do not have a rolling upgrade path for the old ZK-based consumers. Since the Scala clients haven't been updated in a long time (they don't support security or the latest message format), users who need them can continue to use 1.1.0 with no loss of functionality. Since it's already mid-April and people seemed receptive during the discussion last year, I'm going straight to a vote, but we can discuss more if needed (of course).
