[00:50] As far as the LTS thing goes, that's a bit annoying as only Ubuntu and Kubuntu are 5 years, afaik. [00:50] Lubuntu, Xubuntu, and I believe Ubuntu Studio just do 3. [04:10] * rww headache [04:10] so there are three different support durations then? [05:48] 9 month normal release, 3 year LTS, 5 year LTS. [06:13] hello all === MooDoo is now known as Guest79917 [14:48] so perhaps we can change the text to: (...) and from 3 to 5 years (LTS) (...)" [15:54] i think that adds an extra layer of complexity to the thing - if we're making it work for all of them, then wouldn't we have to specify which LTSes have which relese? [15:54] because with hggdh's comment about changing it to 'and from 3 to 5 years (LTS)' there's the ambiguity again [15:54] and then that gets misconstrued for all LTSes [15:55] and by 'complexity' that includes the effort to reduce ambiguity [15:55] if we don't change the text to be more specific, then we need to find authoritative information links which would then point to the difference [15:56] unless the Releases wiki page, under its "Support Length" bullet for Long Term Support releases details that difference with other flavors? [15:57] actually, if we're going down this path, Unit193, we can't just say "Ubuntu releases..." in the factoid, can we? [15:58] hating my keyboard... but even if I'm overanalyzing, the idea would be to reduce ambiguity and confusion, not to exchange one confusing statement for another === popey_ is now known as popey [16:37] flavours can decide what length of support they will provide. Ubuntu provides 5 years, but it is based on resources Canonical has to commit. Other flavours, being (mostly) community, may not have the resources. [16:38] this is part of the game, and expected. The factoid is correct if it points to authoritative documents. [16:38] except it doesn't if we expand the factoid to include 3 years [16:38] none of those links it has points to other-flavors release terms [16:39] "3 or 5 years (LTS)" according to what? Those links? They don't touch base on the other releases. [16:39] Again, we lead into ambiguity [16:41] it all depends. Again, *Ubuntu* is 5 years. Others are not. The factoid is (being picky) wrong, then. I am not sure this is a big deal, though.
