   > I see this jira marked as a blocker for 4.0 and at the same time it says 
that it needs a KIP. We have a dead lock here. Can we remove it as a blocker?
   
   Could we consider this KIP as an exception? The primary changes introduced 
by this KIP are the addition of related end-to-end tests and the update of 
upgrade paths in the documentation. These changes primarily pertain to testing 
and documentation, and do not directly impact production code. Given that we 
have nearly reached a consensus on the associated PR, perhaps we could proceed 
with direct voting for this KIP. 
   
   Alternatively, we could defer the KIP (along with the related upgrade/matrix 
documentation) to the 4.1 release. The streams end-to-end tests already include 
support for 2.0, suggesting that there are no immediate critical upgrade issues 
at this time. If Kafka users inquire about client upgrade paths for 4.0, we can 
direct them to this PR.
   
   > The discussion was about testing the upgrades of the consumer with the 
classic protocol, because currently Streams only works with the classic 
protocol. However, the test is about upgrading from classic to consumer 
protocol.
   
   While `consumer_protocol_migration_test.py` currently lacks a dedicated test 
for the classic protocol, the file provides numerous helpful utilities that 
could facilitate the addition of such a test.
