Hello,
GSIP : https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-187
JIRA : https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-9487
Master PR : https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/4031
The above described PR needs to be backported to meet the 2.16.3 release, hence I am requesting an early backport. Since this is a new extension point, it does not pose any backward compatibility issues, that is because to wok the new extension point, one will have to provide and wire an implementation of relevant interface. It is assured that an early backport will not cause any issues.
regards,
Imran
