Hi, Quick update on the status of 4.1.0.
We are down to 3 open Jiras: - KAFKA-19221: This is fixed in trunk and 4.1. The Jira is just opened while the backport to 4.0 is happening. - KAFKA-19184: This is a doc update for migrating static to dynamic quorums. The PR is under review. - KAFKA-19397: We don't have a fix at the moment but people are actively working on it.
