Safe to downgrade to: a release before 9.1

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy wind-analysis || rpm -q wind-analysis || wind-analysis --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 9.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison wind-analysis sudo apt install wind-analysis=<VERSION_BEFORE_9.1> sudo apt-mark hold wind-analysis

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list wind-analysis sudo dnf downgrade wind-analysis-<VERSION_BEFORE_9.1> sudo dnf versionlock add wind-analysis

Downgrade risk
