API Connect to support more k8s versions

Is it practical for API Connect to support more than 3 versions, especially for the newer version ?

Usually API Connect supports 3 k8s versions as listed below.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/10.0.5.x_lts?topic=dr-api-connect-version-10-software-product-compatibility-requirements

Since our system uses IBM Cloud K8s Service (IKS) to deploy APIC components, our infra team keeps updating k8s versions to keep up with its support lifecycle.

https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-cs_versions&locale=en

We have to wait for the next APIC version which is compatible with the latest k8s version and sometimes it is too late when infra team put few months of testing period and staged patching before k8s EoS. Thus, it would be helpful if APIC supports 1 more newer k8s version. (for example, API Connect 10.0.5.8 to support k8s 1.31. So that we do not have to wait for APIC 10.0.5.9 which may support k8s 1.31.)
