Windows Server 2022 already released, right?

Can I perform direct in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022 without reinstall?

What I mean is bypassing Windows Server 2019, directly upgrade Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022 without reinstall.

On Microsoft's documentation website, I cannot find any information about upgrading from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2022 directly.

    The general rule is skipping one version works so it should be doable.
