[Feedback Wanted] Should previous releases be available if bug fix patch is released?

as mentioned by others all versions must stay available once they have been published. it’s the same as with git: you don’t ever force-push to a published branch.

for security issues i’d expect a CVE (see also the Become a Mitre CNA thread).
in enterprise-y environments various scanning tools (SNYK, GitHub dependabot, twistlock, etc.) are being used which start issuing warnings/errors when they find artifacts with known issues (e.g. they’ll complain about the OpenSearch docker image / .tar.gz / … if there’s a CVE for it).
