My humble pranaams to respected Vidvans  ,

I had always thought Shvetashvtara upanishad was one of the principal
Upanishads of the vedanta tradition. However, there is no Shankara bhasya
available for it on the Advaita sharda site . There is one Shankara bhasya
published by Geetapress Gorakhpur in  the introduction of which they have
expressed their doubts that it doesn't resemble the style of Bhagvatpada
and hence might have been popularised as such but could be writing of a
latter day Shankaracharya of any mutt. They leave this approach for the
researchers and scholars saying the main objective of publishing it is to
present to a jigyasu with an approach.

My question is regarding the stance of traditional vidvans on this issue.
Do they consider a Shankara bhasya on said upanishad to be authentic work
of Adi Shankara Bhagvatpada or not ?
