Hi Steven, I notice you've renamed the template's "Rejected Alternatives" section to "Other Alternatives", suggesting they're not rejected yet (or, if you have rejected them, I think you should give your reasons).
Personally, I'd like to understand the arguments against simply replacing KafkaFuture with CompletableFuture in Kafka 2.0. In other words, if we were starting without needing to support Java 7 what would be the arguments for having our own KafkaFuture?
