Is there support for Gradle 7's new catalogs? Could `_` be used there too as a version and be managed by refreshVersions?

You can use the version placeholder there, yes.

For deeper support, subscribe to the issue, it's been submitted recently by DanySK and was already in the mental backlog.

It might be nice to mention that in the docs... I just had a whole discussion with someone about this, I think this is a great addition since there seems to be limited support for adding our own dependency definitions in buildSrc...

Wondering if this might even replace that feature (eventually...)?

Catalogs lack the management of versions...

If catalogs grow to be better than what we have in refreshVersions, yes, there will be a replacement, and we can deal with the change quite nicely, avoiding breakage of consumer projects, but in the current (incubating) design, it's not the case.

We will probably mention that somewhere on the website, I'm taking (mental) note.
