Are there any newer ESXi 7.0 witness appliance OVAs - 7.0 U3n would be ideal!

The vSAN witness 7.0 OVA is dated April 2020, and we need to redeploy new witness hosts to already updated clusters - in order to speed up the upgrades and to be more compatible for future updates, I was wondering if there were newer versions available, with U3n being ideal, but any U3 variant being preferred...

@CarlPower, Latest Witness is 7.0 U3l, available here: https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/details?downloadGroup=VC70U3O&productId=974#drivers_tools

Witnesses don't get a new package for every ESXi release so will need to patch that with a bare VMware ESXi patch to get it later than that.
