I would like to extend the support period for the ICOS Plugin

The following supporting case exchange suggests this idea.

https://cloud.ibm.com/unifiedsupport/cases/manage/CS4139921?accountId=c8915e8b106f436a8a1cdcf9ff40ac6a


We are using ICOS Plugin on Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud as our container PV.

The current ICOS Plugin support is up to n-2, a situation that will quickly run out of support when rapid updates are made.


We believe that this situation is too short a period of time for the ICOS Plugin to operate normally.


Also, if the version of the Open shift container platforn (OCP) supported by the ICOS Plugin is updated rapidly, the OCP version that can be supported will be very narrow, and we believe this is another factor that increases the operational load.

In order to ensure stable operations, I make this submission in hopes of extending the support period for the ICOS Plugin beyond n-2. I ask for your consideration and endorsement.
