Thank you for the reply, Herman. Given that December and January are on your schedule, I'm not sure what date your proposal is. Could you elaborate more? As we know, the community is less active during that Winter period.
In addition, although I know that you are leading that area actively with big refactorings, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share a more concrete progress status and delivery plan (or milestone) for `Connect and Classic Scala interface` to the community. Specifically, we are curious about how much we achieved between `preview1` and `preview2`, and if it's going to be stabilized enough at that time frame. Let's see what you have more. > We are working on unifying the Connect and Classic Scala interface Thank you again! Dongjoon.
