Review Comment:
   Oh I apologize that I forgot we already discussed that the next Spark 
version would likely be 4.0.0 - my bad.
   
   My concern is mainly about "Considerations when breaking APIs" at 
https://spark.apache.org/versioning-policy.html. We discussed about removing 
some of deprecated API including `SQLContext` at Spark 3.0.0 but we did not 
remove in the end because it might be too breaking changes. At that time, we 
had to remove and revert some of those PRs (see also 
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/22843 and 
https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/27815).
   
   I personally would like to have a bit of discussion in the mailing list 
(probably after 3.5.0 release) before we remove some, and find out that some of 
them are too much breaking changes.
