In addition it seems to be difficult to compile 1.9.2 and GDAL folks are kidding… https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2017-September/047095.html

In reference to point (a), I think we should consider it a separate task, since I’m not sure how long creating new binaries will take (we should also evaluate moving to a 2.x GDAL version).
I agree that we should consider moving to GDAL 2.x, since that seems to be what most people are actually using these days, and I think some people have already had success using it with the current GeoServer.
I believe a line must be drawn between aspiration and reality. The idea is certainly good, but what if a year passes before
we can dedicate resources to do this upgrade? Should the users be left in a limbo since then, unable to get a supported
module to favor one that is not even packaged?
To be clear: As long as you follow the current install instructions, the current GDAL module works fine. The bindings are included in the gdal zip linked from that page, and the instructions explicitly tell you to copy the bindings into your WEB-INF/lib.
The main issue is that most users are missing this step in the instructions, so including the bindings jar with the gs-gdal plugin (as was done before) would make things a bit easier.
Changing the packaging to include this jar again is relatively trivial, and can be done independently of upgrading the binding jar.
That said, if someone is using a newer version of GDAL with newer bindings, including the binding jar by default could cause other conflicts (I would expect to see issues with GDAL 2.0 and higher).
Given that, if we start including the binding jar again, and don’t upgrade it, we should make this clear in the GDAL install instructions (although that didn’t seem to help much in this case).
