I'll put it in Q1, and if it slips or there are portions left for Q2, we can bump the specifics in the roadmap just before Q2 to provide more context if needed. Does that work for you?

* Design/Implement user-friendly offset manipulation (i.e, start at a specific position in the transaction logs)
* Provide a Debezium-specific SPI for describing change event schemas
* API/SPI allowing to implement custom connectors on the foundations of Debezium
* Exploration of creating aggregated events, based on the streams/data from multiple tables, so to enable use cases which need to incorporate data from multiple tables into a single output structure (e.g. an Elasticsearch document containing order and orderline info)

Ya I think that was just left over from what was there previously, great catch. I removed it.

** Incremental Snapshot interface
** Quick-start connector deployment
** Support varied Kafka Connect and Debezium versions
** Offset manipulation
** Make storage configurable at runtime
* Debezium Operator
** Improved Observability and Metrics
** R&D to consider multitasking support with Debezium Server
