is there a timeline for when the FIFO Streams will be GA/Removed? We explored FIFO Streams to store data in Google storage and we see good backup timelines. Based on the GA of FIFO Streams, We will use it in our production environment where we have a larger cluster base.

@anil.joshi ,
As per the Percona documentation, the [FIFO Data Sink feature](https://docs.percona.com/percona-xtrabackup/8.0/xbcloud-binary-fifo-datasink.html) is in a tech preview state. As per the definition of Tech Preview if this feature is not working properly this feature will be removed. my question is when will this feature become GA?
