Hi Alessio,

I see that target is for the GeoServer 3 release (not sure we’ll have a beta, mind).
In that context the proposal is fine, +1

Reasoning: I have seen many changes that I believe occurred after the Spring security 7 update, so I would think the code on 2.28.x is likely outdated by comparison, and less likely to be ready for graduation

Cheers
Andrea

Hello Andrea,
yes, the target proposal is for GeoServer 3.

The code on 2.28.x is outdated and not ready for graduation.

I am very enthusiastic, and did not see the discourse thread until today.

I had commented directly on the proposal:

Q: Does it have sufficient real-world experience to be an extension?

This module has been available for use in 2.28.x series, so there may very well be production use to report. There is also the option of marking the plugin as “pending”, which publishes the plugin alongside GeoServer 3.

Does it have much real-world use on 2.28.x that you have heard about?

If not this is a perfect example of why we make pending modules available for download alongside a release.
