The Enterprise Search version support is being changed from "7.17+" to "7.7+", which moves backward to an older version. This is inconsistent with the PR's goal of removing support for Stack 7.17. Since 7.7 is older than 7.17, this change would expand support to older versions rather than removing 7.17 support. Consider changing this to "8+" to align with the removal of 7.17 support, or verify if Enterprise Search has a different support policy.

Suggested change
* Enterprise Search: 7.7+, 8+
* Enterprise Search: 8+, 9+

Ent Search == different from core stack. Also this was a typo that was fixed. Not relevant.

I struggle to see how this can be correct. Enterprise Search as a product is EOL and 8.x is still supported until 2027 but there is no mention of 7.x https://www.elastic.co/support/eol#end-of-life-eol-software-products

#9053 You are correct @pebrc . Would you rather I:

  1. merge this, and also merge the backport of 9053?
  2. or edit this directly removing Ent Search 7.x?

LGTM given that we are going to fix the Enterprise Search situtation in a separate PR.
