Hi @lukasmetzner thank you for opening this feature blog placeholder PR.
Feature Blog PRs should be opened against the main branch, could you please fix it?

Thank you :)

elmiko · 2025-10-27T18:58:10Z

thanks @lukasmetzner !

lukasmetzner · 2025-11-03T11:51:43Z

The implementation is not merged yet. I would put it to hold, correct me if I am wrong here 😅 Content-wise it would be ready for a review from my side ^^

i think this is straightfoward and to the point. i have a couple suggestions for the intro paragraph, and a couple minor nits.

@graz-dev How do we move forward here? Is anything missing for an approve?

lmktfy · 2025-12-05T17:19:34Z

@lukasmetzner how did the pairing with @dom4ha go - see #52973 (comment)

If you haven't heard at all, try getting in touch once more, and then if you are on Kubernetes' Slack workspace, let the #release-comms folk know. They may well be able to help.

graz-dev

some nits, @lukasmetzner after fixing them I'm happy to merge it as a draft.

@lmktfy There was not much pairing. The PR I should review was basically empty and closed after a while. I did not get any feedback. My PR was already reviewed at this time, so it was probably fine anyway.
