Thanks for kicking this off Wei-Chiu. We'll need to clarify in the release notes that this is the first ZDU enabled release, but users can't actually use ZDU to upgrade to it. We will make sure the 2.3 upgrade documentation is clear about this as well. Once users are on this release they can ZDU to future releases. As far as we know right now, we have everything needed for this initial ZDU support in master, so it should be good to go. Phase 2 items in HDDS-16021 won't be required until the next release which will let users actually execute ZDU.
