FWIW I like the standardization idea but just making the old switches fail
seems like it's not the best plan. People wrap this sort of thing for any
number of reasons, and breaking all of their stuff all at once is not going to
make them happy. And it's not like keeping the old switches working for a
while is all that challenging from a technical standpoint.
Even if all this does is break stuff when you finally phase out the old
switches, telling people that will happen and giving them time to adjust will
make them a lot less annoyed with the Kafka community when that happens. They
may still be annoyed, mind you, just not at you. (-:
