An example of a KIP in Level 4 could be KIP-390: Support Compression Level that reached this level during Kafka 3.8, and jumped directly from Level 1 to Level 4.

Names

  1. "In Development", but this state won't be used by KIPs and it's just here for completeness.
  2. "Early AccessExperimental"
  3. "Preview"
  4. "Production Ready"

Alternatively, if we want to be a bit more playful we could go with a theme borrowed from the book industry (as an homage to Franz Kafka):

  1. "In Development"
  2. "Manuscript"
  3. "Pre-print"
  4. "Published"

When can a KIP change levels?
