What is the current status of Kinetic KV support in Ceph?

I'm asking because: https://www.crn.com.au/news/seagate-quietly-bins-open-storage-project-519345 .. and the fact that kinetic-cpp-client hasn't been updated in four years and only compiles against OpenSSL 1.0.2, which will become EOL by the end of 2019.

Or am I totally wrong? ^

Thank you for reply in advance,
