Hello @benluddy 👋, v1.29 Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach enhancements freeze on 01:00 UTC, Friday, 6th October, 2023.

This enhancement is targeting for stage alpha for v1.29 (correct me, if otherwise)

Here's where this enhancement currently stands:

• KEP readme using the latest template has been merged into the k/enhancements repo.
• KEP status is marked as implementable for latest-milestone: 1.29.
• KEP readme has a updated detailed test plan section filled out
• KEP readme has up to date graduation criteria
• KEP has a production readiness review that has been completed and merged into k/enhancements.

For this KEP, we would just need to update the following:

• It looks like KEP-4222: CBOR Serializer #4223 will address most of these issues when it merges in!

The status of this enhancement is marked as at risk for enhancement freeze. Please keep the issue description up-to-date with appropriate stages as well. Thank you!

Hello @benluddy, 👋 1.29 Enhancements lead here,

Unfortunately, the implementation (code related) PR(s) associated with this enhancement is not in the merge-ready state by code-freeze and hence this enhancement is now removed from the 1.29 milestone.

If you still wish to progress this enhancement in 1.29, please file an exception request. Thanks!
