--- Comment #15 from Victor Grousset/tuxayo <victor at tuxayo.net> ---
> This bug caught my attention last week, and I have been watching with interest to see what responses there would be to Victor's question here. In the absence of any (so far), I would like to offer the perspective of a system administrator in the wild:

Hi, welcome :) More input can definitely help to unblock this.

> 1. The version included by Koha appeared to be one that had reached end-of-life with the publisher

ES 7 and OpenSearch 1.X (which isn't eol) has been supported since a year. But
we didn't update the systems requirements documentation (now it's finally
updated) due to not having the time to search for real work usage to
confidently claim support :-/

> 2. Even the supported version had been associated with significant data breaches

You mean the log4j vulnerabilities? (latest 6.x patched them) or like bad
defaults?
Is your statement still valid for ES 7.x?

> 3. There seemed to be a lack of clarity following the change in licensing and the open source world's response to it.

Indeed! About that, to have more material to raise awareness about the issue,
do you happen to know more about the open source world's response to it?
Besides Debian, Fedora and the Open Source Initiative not considering the SSPL
license libre/open source?

> - Our production server runs 22.05, BUT I can imagine a willingness to leap forward a bit if OpenSearch is backported to 22.11.

You can do that right away with OpenSearch 1.x , 22.05 supported it on launch.
Sorry again for the delay in advertising it's support.
