Обсуждение: Why doesn't the "extras" repo have all HAProxy 3.2.x patch versions?

The "extras" repo has HAProxy 3.2.0 -> 3.2.8 available:

https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/extras/redhat/rhel-9-x86_64/

Checking on HAProxy, there are newer patch versions 3.2.9 -> 3.2.16
which are not in PGDG:

https://www.haproxy.org/bugs/bugs-3.2.8.html

Is there a reason for this?  I'd prefer to stay on 3.2.x as it's LTS,
whereas 3.3.x will only exist for 1 year and then be unmaintained.

Thanks.
Greg.

I'm not very familiar to HAProxy release policy, so followed the regular
"rolling release" thing. OTOH we have one spec file currently so cannot
maintain both without some manual modifications.

Feel free to submit a patch if you think it is worth maintaining 3.2.X,
and its spec file should be in a different directory (haproxy32?) than
the current one.

Cheers,
