   @RussellSpitzer We should certainly have a dev ML discussion about this.  As 
you mentioned, there have been many PR in which we agreed to merge as-is and 
keep iterating/improving in follow-ups.  So if we want to change that community 
practice, we should discuss it with the community.
   
   @flyrain - It sounds like you want to ensure we're making the right 
technical decision here, and I agree with you that it is critical we commit to 
the project's success.
   
   I think it's important we reflect on how our process aligns with Apache 
values, especially considering we are discussing graduation.  The Apache Way 
emphasizes that contributions should be evaluated on their technical merit and 
demonstrated value, and that the decision making process should be open, 
transparent, and collaborative.
   I want to propose a path forward that honors both the Apache Way and 
respects everyone's contributions:
   1. #3256 moves forward based on its demonstrated merit - it's tested, 
approved by diverse reviewers, and solves documented problems
   2. #3415 can be evaluated independently on its own merits once it has 
comparable testing and validation. Both approaches can coexist.
   3. We open another PR to add a feature flag that allows users to use the 
storage operations code for purge.  The feature flag defaults to the current 
implementation (== no behaviour change in Polaris).
   
   This approach demonstrates the kind of open, collaborative, merit-based 
decision making that will serve us well as we work toward graduation.  And it 
also enables the community to move forward.  Am I missing anything that would 
make this path forward unreasonable?
   
   I would like to commit this by lazy consensus if no-one objects within the 
next two days.  Let's use this PR reviews (Approval/Request for changes) to 
collect responses.  cc @RusselSpitzer @dimas-b @adam-christian-software.
