kafka_2.12 managed dependency version not present in maven central #47990
Description
Hi, I'm building our code with Spring Boot 4.0.0-RC2 pre-release and I'm seeing org.apache.kafka:kafka_2.12 managed version being set to 4.1.0 but there is no such release in maven central for kafka_2.12. Does this instead need to be at 3.9.1 (latest currently in central) or removed?
Here's an example pom that demonstrates this problem;
