The Kafka incubator community has voted to graduate[1]. This is based on the sense of the community as well as guidance from the Incubator[2]. Per protocol, I'm raising this proposal to discuss any concerns the Incubator may have before calling the vote. If no objections are raised within the next couple days, I'll call the a VOTE thread to proceed with the resolution below.
