@RyanSkraba there is one small corner case, which let me doubt. When using `CharSequence` as `stringType`, the `equals` method uses a newly introduced `Utf8#compareSequences`. As we could not use `java.lang.CharSequence#compare` which is only [available since java 11](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/CharSequence.html#compare(java.lang.CharSequence,java.lang.CharSequence)). If we choose to introduce this change as a minor version. It would mean that for the `Charsequence` `stringType`, the code generated by an 1.11.1 compiler is incompatible with a 1.11.0 avro library. Everything else should work in that constellation. Do you see that as a reason to introduce it in a major version only? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
