@apelisse this is a reminder that Enhancement Freeze is tomorrow and this KEP #1099 needs to be merged by EOD. If not, it will be removed from the milestone. Thanks

Thanks for the reminder Kendrick, work is actually going-on (apelisse#1) and mostly driven by @sttts
We'll try to mark it implementable before tomorrow!

@apelisse @sttts

Enhancement Freeze has passed for 1.16. The KEP at #1099 was never merged and now this is being removed from the 1.16 milestone. If this would like to be re-added, please file an exception and it will require approval from the release lead.
