Thanks for raising this, but I disagree on three fronts: - Neither 1889[1] nor 1890[2] introduces a functional gap that would prevent users from adopting 1.0. They document best-practice guidance we can safely refine post-GA. Holding the release hostage to docs or policy wording sets an impossibly high bar and delays useful features. - The incremental risk of shipping without these PRs is low: we’re not breaking contracts or data. By contrast, the value of shipping 1.0 on schedule—unblocking downstream integrations and giving users a clear target—is very high. - We’ve historically treated “blocker” as a last resort for regressions or hard compatibility breaks. Expanding that scope to unresolved wording or scope debates dilutes the label. Unless someone surfaces a concrete technical regression linked to these PRs, the blocker tag should be removed.
I'd say removing the blocker label from them itself needs consensus. I'm OK with the consensus process. Can you explain why introducing a blocker doesn't need consensus? 1. https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/1889 2. https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/1890 Yufei On Fri, Jun 13, 2025 at 12:14 PM Dmitri Bourlatchkov <di...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi Yufei, > > I agree that we do not have consensus on the _contents_ of PRs 1889 and > 1890. > > However, I believe the issues these PRs attempt to address are still 1.0 > blockers in my opinion (arguments for that given in previous emails). > > I'd say removing the blocker label from them itself needs consensus. > Thoughts on this aspect are welcome from everyone. > > Thanks, > Dmitri. > > On Fri, Jun 13, 2025 at 1:05 PM Yufei Gu <flyrain...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Dmitri, > > > > We don't have a consensus on adding these two PRs as 1.0 blocker.
