Hi all, I would like to discuss creating a new 1.17 patch release (1.17.2). The last 1.17 release is near half a year old, and since then, 79 tickets have been closed [1], of which 15 are blocker/critical [2]. Some of them are quite important, such as FLINK-32758 [3], FLINK-32296 [4], FLINK-32548 [5] and FLINK-33010[6].
In addition to this, FLINK-33149 [7] is important to bump snappy-java to 1.1.10.4. Although FLINK-33149 is unresolved, it was done in 1.17.2. I am not aware of any unresolved blockers and there are no in-progress tickets [8]. Please let me know if there are any issues you'd like to be included in this release but still not merged. If the community agrees to create this new patch release, I could volunteer as the release manager with Yu Chen. Since there will be another flink-1.16.3 release request during the same time, we will work with Rui Fan since many issues will be fixed in both releases.
