   > Thanks for the PR. I am tempted to specify list offsets methods to support 
0.11.0 brokers and newer. 0.10.x is extremely old now. It was different when we 
implemented #3098 4+ years ago.
   
   Well, from my POV I'd say that `listOffsets` looks like a feature supported 
in 0.10.x, it's just the metadata headers sent from `AdminClient` that prevent 
it from working (if I'm not wrong).
   
   I understand that 0.10.x is an old version, but it's the one that our 
company uses in Production 🤷🏽 I don't know how many companies are out there 
like mine, but I'd bet they will be happy to know that if they want to use 
`listOffsets` for whatever new thing they develop, they are not forced to 
upgrade the Kafka Cluster version. We all know that nowadays Kafka is a key 
component in most companies architecture, and performing a major upgrade is a 
big thing that needs a huge amount of work and synchronization between teams 
(at least compared with a client update).
   
   That being said, whatever decision you make, will be fine (at least I've 
tried 🙂 ).
