Thanks for running this, David! I've verified the signatures, looked at the docs, and run the quickstart (ZK and KRaft). I also ran the unit tests, as well as all the tests for Streams locally.
The docs look a little malformed (the "collapse/expand" button floats over the text, the collapsed doc tree is only halfway collapsed, and there's a weird empty panel on the right). We can fix the docs site independent of this release, so I'm +1 (binding).
