About Kubeflow
Kubeflow's main repo is now a signpost: real releases live in seven subprojects.
The only entry is a redirect notice: the kubeflow/kubeflow repository no longer holds project code. Releases now come from separate repos for the SDK, Notebooks, Spark Operator, Trainer, Katib, Hub (model registry) and Pipelines, each on its own cycle.
