Apache Kafka 4.0 will only support KRaft and 3.0 was the first release where KRaft was in a reasonable state (even if not production ready yet). So, we can assume that Apache Kafka 4.0 will only communicate with brokers that are 3.0 or newer. A couple of notes: 1. KRaft was only marked as production-ready in 3.3, so we could go further and set the baseline to 3.3. I think we should have that discussion, but it made sense to start with the non controversial parts. 2. I have not removed the actual IBP definitions - leaving that for a separate PR. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
