Kubespray 2.23.2 did not update kube_version in contrib/kubespray/inventory/sample/group_vars/k8s_cluster/k8s-cluster.yml

[jeanfabrice]

What happened?

• Upgrading my local repo with kubespray 2.23.2
• Generating a diff on inventory/sample: git diff v2.23.1..v2.23.2 -- inventory/sample so I can patch my own inventory with a 3-way patch
• Found that contrib/kubespray/inventory/sample/group_vars/k8s_cluster/k8s-cluster.yml is still referencing kube_version: v1.27.7 despite Release Notes (and kubespray-defaults role code) indicate Kubespray 2.23.2 to use Kubernetes v1.27.9:

$ sudo git diff v2.23.1..v2.23.2 -- roles/kubespray-defaults/defaults/main.yaml
diff --git a/roles/kubespray-defaults/defaults/main.yaml b/roles/kubespray-defaults/defaults/main.yaml

What did you expect to happen?

contrib/kubespray/inventory/sample/group_vars/k8s_cluster/k8s-cluster.yml to show kube_version: v1.27.9

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Create a Kubespray 2.23.2 cluster with the default inventory sample should create a Kubernetes v1.27.7 cluster (as inventory group vars take over default roles variables)

OS

unrelated I think
Ansible is running on MacOS Sonoma.
Kubernetes cluster is running on Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS / Linux 5.15.0-91-generic x86_64
