Dear Ceph maintainers,
Further to the thread about 20.2.3 Noble support earlier this month, I would like to point out that with there having been Noble packages for up to and including 20.2.0, Noble users are now stuck with Ceph versions with known security vulnerabilities. For many operators, ourselves included, a downgrade to Jammy is not possible even it it were to be done on Ceph servers themselves (as I mentioned in passing in one of my messages to this list we experienced severe I/O issues with Jammy-backed Ceph OSDs in one of our clusters, whereas another requires Noble or newer in order for Podman to be new enough for SMB containers).
I would therefore STRONGLY encourage you to resume the building and publishing of packages for Noble ASAP irrespective of whether this particular version of Ubuntu has reached the "officially supported" status or not.
Noble support will be present in v20.2.5. -- Patrick Donnelly, Ph.D. He / Him / His Red Hat Partner Engineer IBM, Inc. GPG: 19F28A586F808C2402351B93C3301A3E258DD79D
