Thanks for the PR. I left some comments about the stopping / unstopping of the connectors. But the blog pos look nice otherwise.

I wonder what you idea about the publication date is?

• We can wait and publish it after the 0.44.0 release in which case it just describes the feature as it is today.
• Or we can publish it before the release. But then we would need to frame the introduction as a preview of a feature that will be available in the next 0.44 release.

So I guess you aimed for the first option?

Well written, thanks @katheris.

Nice, clear, useful post.
I left a few suggestions mainly around readability and clarity

Thanks for the review @scholzj. I think we should wait and publish it after the 0.44 release, I'll review the post and make sure it correctly reflects that plan. I think that will make it easier for people to follow.

Great post!
I left some comments.
I was also wondering if we should wait for Strimzi 0.44.0 being released before publishing it, because you are mentioning it at the beginning of the post.
Or we can just publish it and your sentence just warns users that they have to wait for the new release in order to use this feature.
I have no strong opinion on this.

@ppatierno Jakub raised this before and we decided to publish it once 0.44 is out
