Thanks @pablo . I had seen this but the reason I was seeking some tentative timeline is because we are currently on 2.19.5, the maintenance window for which will end with 4.0 GA. Hence, wanted some info so that we could plan our work accordingly.

@Bhupendra As per OpenSearch LTS, the minimum support time is 18th months from the release date.

Since 4.0 isn’t officially scheduled, did you consider version 3.6 LTS instead?
