   > I think that we should copy this line item to the 3.1.x-3.5.x 
documentation when the patch release for those versions go out, but we might be 
in danger of forgetting. Can you create blocker tickets with fix versions for 
the future patch releases that will remind us to document this?
   
   Based on our [release 
policy](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Time+Based+Release+Plan#TimeBasedReleasePlan-WhatIsOurEOLPolicy?),
 it looks like 3.1 and 3.2 are EOL, so it's unlikely we'll need to backport any 
further than 3.3.
   
   I'm also planning on opening a separate PR to backport this to 3.5 (which 
can then be cherry-picked to 3.4 and 3.3) once this PR is approved. I'd just 
cherry-pick the commit for this PR, but we don't have autogenerated docs for 
the MM2 properties on those branches, so the wording will have to be different. 
Once those backport commits land, they should be picked up and included in the 
next releases on those branches automatically.
   
   This will still omit the notes on, e.g., upgrading to 3.4.2, from the main 
docs page at https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/, but it seems like this is 
a general issue with our docs. For example, our current trunk's [upgrade 
notes](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/f970ddff10114ae7f9ea1b9966cd25ac8bb5f581/docs/upgrade.html)
 don't include a section for 3.5.1, even though one is included in the [upgrade 
notes](https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/abd1c8e46fc413f8cb8d2d07a80ee74eaf5d9708/docs/upgrade.html)
 for our current 3.5 branch). Do you think it's worth making a special case for 
this PR, or is it acceptable to leave upgrade information on older versions 
(e.g., 3.4.2) off of the docs for newer versions (e.g., 3.5.2)?
