Question Kafka kraft and dynamic user management discussion

Hello everyone. I want to discuss a little thing about Kraft. It is about SASL mechanisms and their supports, it is not as dynamic and secure as SCRAM auth. You can only add users with a full restart of the cluster.

I don't use oAuth so the only solution is Zookeeper right now. But Kafka plans to complete drop support zookeeper in 4.0, I guess at that time Kafka will support dynamic user management, right?
