Hello everyone,  
The last available version of the Docker Engine (20.10.18) was released [almost 1 year ago](https://2022-09-09). At the same time, 20.10 [will reach its EOL at the end of the year](https://endoflife.date/docker-engine). Any chance CircleCI will soon support the 23/24 release series in `setup_remote_docker`?

This is a pretty big issue for us. There are bugs in docker which are fixed in version 23+ that are causing problems in our deployments.
