Would it be necessary to go from 3.0 to 3.11 on the way to 4.0? I didn't
think that was required.

What has been fixed in 3.0 that hasn't been merged into 3.11 ?

That's what's being discussed, and Mick is proposing requiring it officially,
to reduce support burden.

To clarify that^, if it wasn't obvious, I wasn't making a statement about
Some data that I believe is relevant here.
Numerically it's safe to assume there's over 10,000 ASF C* clusters out in
the world (5,500 in China alone). In surveys (both informal polling and
primary research), at least 1/3rd of folks are running the 3.X latest if I
recall correctly.
Basic conclusi
My suggestion for "supported" upgrade paths would be;
2.1 (2.2) -> 3.0 -> 4.0
2.1 (2.2) -> 3.11 -> 4.0
and drop support for 3.0 -> 3.11 when we release 4.0

Yeah, and perhaps even drop 2.1 (2.2) -> 3.11 when 4.0 appears.
I think there's anyway a big difference between supported and encouraged. I
think we should encourage 2.1->3.0->4.0, while maintaining support for 2.2->3.0
and 3.0->3.11 for critical bugs only, and 3.11->4.0 in the normal way given
Since email is very unclear and context gets lost, I'm personally OK with
officially supporting all of these upgrade paths, but the spectre was raised
that this might lead to lost labour due to an increased support burden. My view
is that 3.0->4.0 is probably a safer upgrade path for users and a
I think it's a clean and simple heuristic for the project to say "you can
safely upgrade to adjacent major versions".
The difficulty we face with 3.0 is that it has made many contributors very
wary of pre 4.0 code and with good reason. Your point about conservative
users upgrading later in a cycle
There is a sizeable cohort of us who I expect to be primarily focused on
3.0->4.0, so if you have a cohort focusing primarily on 3.11->4.0 I think we'll
be in good shape.

Hi Josh,
I can shepherd this ticket and get started early next week.

Fair point on uncertainties and delaying decisions until strictly required
so we have more data.
I want to nuance my earlier proposal and what we document (sorry for the
multiple messages; my time is fragmented enough these days that I only have
thin slices to engage w/stuff like this).
I think w
At the end of the 7 day period, 26 issues remained with "4.0-triage" in
their fixversion. All 4.0-triage/alphe/beta/rc fixversions have been
removed from these remaining tickets and they are now flagged fixversion
4.0.x.
Thanks everyone.
