We need strimizi kafka operator support kafka-2.7.2, and I checked the discussion #6640, unfortunately it doesn't support.

Is it possible to make strimizi operator version supports kafka-2.7.2 by contribution through us?
Besides added kafka version like this here https://github.com/strimzi/strimzi-kafka-operator/blob/main/kafka-versions.yaml#L123-L131, and other two places

Kafka 2.7 is quite old and not supported by latest Strimzi versions. You would need to add it your self to one of the old versions and build it your self. The PR shows what would need to be changed.
