Hi Kevin, The KIP says the following: "However, if we want to add another value to BrokerRegistrationState that maps to starting up brokers (i.e. never unfenced), this would require adding a boolean to the broker's registration record. Additionally, if we want to track is a broker has been uncleanly shutdown, we would likely need to store the broker epoch in its registration record."
That looks like a rejected alternative. The KIP doesn't address how this will be implemented. Are you planning to move the paragraph to the rejected alternative section? If you move this to the "rejected alternative" section, the "proposed changes" section doesn't look very interesting and can be removed. Thanks, -- -José
