Thanks Kostas. If there's items we can help with, I'm sure we'd be able to find 
folks who would be excited to contribute / help in any way.

    Thanks Piyush for the message.
    After this, I revoke my +1. I agree with the previous opinions that we
    cannot drop code that is actively used by users, especially if it
    something that deep in the stack as support for cluster management
    framework.
    
    Cheers,

edge datacenters and we do want to continue to be able to run some of our Flink 
topologies (to compute machine learning short term features) on those DCs. If 
possible our vote would be not to drop Mesos support as that will tie us to an 
old release / have to maintain a fork as we’re not planning to migrate off 
Mesos anytime soon. Is the burden something that can be helped with by the 
community? (Or are you referring to having to ensure PRs handle the Mesos piece 
as well when they touch the resource managers?)

in the sense that our Mesos user's opinions should matter most here. If our 
community is no longer using the Mesos integration, then I would be +1 for 
removing it in order to decrease the maintenance burden.

definitely matter a lot for this community. Either way, it would be good to 
draw users attention to this discussion early.
