Request of new track for the OpenSearch snap

Hello,

Per Process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks 2, we need a 1-week voting/discussion period, so I’ll check back on the discussion and votes in a few days.

I have three questions before casting my vote.

  1. What’s opensearch’s release cadence, how often is a new major version (potentially requiring a new track) released? is this documented somewhere by upstream?
  2. Is there some commitment from upstream on maintenance of old versions? e.g. is 1.x still supported with security updates? will it continue to be supported now that 2.x is out, and for how long?
  3. Are new versions backwards-incompatible? meaning, if I was running 1.x and try to install 2.0, will that just work, or do I need to migrate my data/configuration, or will things break horribly?

Thanks!
