The engineering team did validate that the puppetlabs modules ecosystem had the proper upper bounds so they would have stayed on stdlib 9 even with stdlib 10 out there. The Puppet team could roll out updates to the modules to use the new version 10 as needed, once it is made available in the future. The team does want to be able to remove support for Puppet 7 from these modules at some point and a version 10 of

stdlib

is likely going to be needed to do that. If there are modules in the ecosystem that do not have upper bounds, they would be impacted, so this is a good time to be planning for reviewing that impact. Perhaps a good thing to align with the upcoming v9 releases of Puppet Core and OpenVox?
