Ghostscript Version in Repositories

Issue

Ghostscript version available in the CloudLinux 7 repositories is quite old. 

Are there any plans to update the Ghostscript packages?

At the same time, updating it on Cloudlinux 7 can bring dependency conflicts since the OS is end-of-life already. 

In this regard, the safest and the most optimized way is to migrate it to the higher CL OS version.
