Just want to note that there are still a lot of things to do before. WRT “production readiness”, as JB said, we need consensus on some things _quickly_. The details can only be sorted out _with_ a consensus. April is therefore too tight IMHO - I’d really prefer the date: “it’s ready, when it’s ready”. Instead of committing to a release deadline, I’d really prefer a strong commitment to security, stability and ease of use and release when it’s really ready and _everybody_ is happy with the state.
I also advocate to focus on the important things, not have any open serious bugs or even security issues. Also noteworthy is the upcoming ASF requirement to have automated reproducible builds/releases. I’ve already started the work for that - and IMHO we should prefer automated releases over anything manual. > On 11.
