I'd like to see #10480 end up in the release please.

As we are making 1.38.0 release a resharding-only release, we move to a different timeline.
All the features that were added after the 1.37.0 cut will be released in 1.39.0.
Issues to track 1.39 release progress and timeline will be created this week and linked to this issue.

@marcelo-gonzalez added two PRs to master that I want included in 1.38.0 release #10765 #10766

We should ask SRE team to enable state snapshot creation on one of our 1.38.0 split storage and rpc machines as soon as new release is rolled out. This way we can be more sure in the whole snapshot creation process (both correctness and additional space required).
