+      We currently keep a List of commit requests per checkpoint instead of a 
single CommitRequest<DynamicCommittable>
+      to process the Flink state from previous releases, which had multiple 
commit requests due to a bug in the upstream
+      DynamicWriteResultAggregator. We should replace this with a single 
commit request in the next major release.

Review Comment:
   > If we simplify the code and remove lists in this change, the committer 
state would still be compatible and have the same operator ID
   
   Could we change the `uid` for the committer somehow? If we could do it, then 
we could enforce using a news state for the new committer.
   
   > An alternative, potentially simpler solution would be to release this 
change in another patch release: 1.10.2.
   
   I still think that this change is not something we should release in a patch 
release. So if we go down this road, then we should keep this change in 1.11, 
and drop the code in 1.12.0
