Hello,

I would like to clarify a statement I found in the KRaft documentation, in
the deployment section [1]:

> More than 3 controllers is not recommended in critical environments. In
the rare case of a partial network failure it is possible for the cluster
metadata quorum to become unavailable. This limitation will be addressed in
a future release of Kafka.

I would like to clarify what it's meant by that sentence, as intuitively I
don't see why 3 replicas would be better than 5 (or more) for fault
tolerance.
What is the current limitation this is referring to?

Thanks a lot.


Cheers,

Dani
