Thanks for the background.

Although I'm running 22.03.2 currently, I'm not impacted by the underlying issue as have a separate switch. I'm more concerned about running behind with security updates but I've read the relevant CVEs and it's probably ok to wait until 22.04.0 for now. I'll keep an eye out and update to a snapshot, if this changes.

I think quite a few users are in a similar position to me: the lack of potential security updates is more of a potential problem than not having switch functionality.
