Hi Christo, I've added a few KIPs to the 4.2 release plan. KIP-932 (Queues for Kafka) is planning to GA in 4.2. We have one PR still in progress and a few reviews. Documentation will extend past the feature freeze. KIP-1226 (Share group lag) is complete apart from one PR for integration tests which is under review and almost ready. KIP-1227 (Expose rack ID in member description) which is complete and was missing from the list.
