Sorry but I'm (binding) -1 on this because of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12236.
I disagree that knowingly releasing a version that will temporarily break in-flight queries during upgrade, even if it's for a very short time-frame until re-connection, is ok. I'll note in particular that in the test report, there is 74! failures in the upgrade tests (for reference the 3.7 test report had only 2 upgrade tests failure both with open tickets). Given that we have a known problem during upgrade, I don't really buy the "We are assuming these are due to a recent downsize in instance size that these tests run on" and that suggest to me the problem is not too minor.
