hello, this is a very critical update for us and I'd like to have it before the annual release: https://github.com/ory/kratos/pull/4522 from this issue what is the recommended way to do this? should I build my own kratos image until this is released to public? any advice on how to to build it properly?

hey @great-laptop-90610 the recommended way would be to purchase an Ory Enterprise License (https://www.ory.com/docs/self-hosted/oel) - that way you support Ory directly and the team will put extra priority on getting any features you need. You also get an updated kratos image, 24/7 support, SLAs, etc.
