Hi David,

Thanks for this next release candidate.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I was trying to test out some of the
changes that Jose provided, by configuring a static quorum
(kraft.version=0) and I seem to be unable to do so.
I set controller.quorum.voters=1@localhost:9093 as per how it looked in 3.9
(with no controller.quorum.bootstrap.servers, but no matter what I do it
says "Cannot set kraft.version to 0 if KIP-853 configuration is present.
Try removing the --feature flag for kraft.version."

Can someone help me out here? The documentation says:
> The static versus dynamic nature of the quorum is determined at the time
of formatting. Specifically, the quorum will be formatted as dynamic if
controller.quorum.voters is *not* present, and if the software version is
Apache Kafka 3.9 or newer. If you have followed the instructions earlier in
this document, you will get a dynamic quorum.

But this seems incorrect. I'm hoping I'm just misunderstanding the
documentation and not that there is another issue.

Thanks,

Justine
