In an upcoming major release, the tasks.max.enforce property will be removed and it will become impossible to disable enforcement of the tasks.max property.

IdeallyAssuming the KIP is implemented and released in 3.8.0, this will may take place with the in 4.0.0 release (assuming the KIP is completed in time), but we may delay the removal of this property depending on feedback from the communitymay also be delayed until 5.0.0 or a subsequent major version bump in order to allow users to more gracefully adapt to the change in runtime behavior by Kafka Connect.
