Hello @upodroid 👋, 1.27 Enhancements team here.

Just checking in as we approach enhancements freeze on 18:00 PDT Thursday 9th February 2023.

This enhancement is targeting for stage stable for 1.27 (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: 1.27
• 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.

With all the KEP requirements in place and merged into k/enhancements, this enhancement is all good for the upcoming enhancements freeze. 🚀

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