wxlno, they don't work fine00:00
simonizor[m]Yeah, they do00:00
simonizor[m]I've been running it since 18.04 daily started00:00
tsimonq2simonizor[m]: We *aren't* putting out a Lubuntu Next release, that's the point.00:00
simonizor[m]Other than a few derps on from LXQt packaging, it's been smooth00:00
tsimonq2They're supported by Ubuntu for only nine months.00:00
tsimonq2After that, bugs get closed as won'tfix for Bionic.00:01
tsimonq2We're declaring that.00:01
tsimonq2Going forward, it will be different, but we have to get the LTS out of the way.00:01
tsimonq2You also have to understand that we can't just pull the packages.00:01
tsimonq2Not only is it a lot of work that we don't have control to do (so it means a bug for each one), it then really breaks upgrades.00:02
simonizor[m]Seems pretty lame.  I can install any other DE on Ubuntu LTS and have it be supported for the whole term of the LTS regardless of whether there's an offical flavor or not00:02
tsimonq2This isn't any other DE.00:02
tsimonq2We're declaring that we won't support LXQt for the length of the LTS.00:02
tsimonq2That's it.00:02
tsimonq2You can use it, but you do so at your own risk.00:02
simonizor[m]So don't put a package on an LTS release for it00:02
simonizor[m]You doing so and then not supporting it after 9 months is highly confusing and pretty silly00:03
tsimonq2*We don't have the power to do that.*00:03
tsimonq2We DO have the power to say what we will support.00:03
tsimonq2And, it's treating it like a normal release.00:03
tsimonq2Normal releases get nine months of support.00:03
tsimonq2This is what Kubuntu did when Plasma 5 was introduced.00:04
tsimonq2It's the recommended protocol.00:04
tsimonq2So, don't be calling US stupid.00:04
tsimonq2You're welcome to upgrade to 18.10.00:04
tsimonq2(When it comes out.)00:04
tsimonq2The long and short of this is: the announcement we've put out is the appropriate action to take here.00:05
simonizor[m]Yeah, no.  Advising people to do that in the first place is extra silly.00:05
tsimonq2That's your opinion.00:05
tsimonq2I'm following protocol.00:05
simonizor[m]I wanted to like LXQt, but I just don't think y'all are going to be able to pull of what I hoped.  Lumina, on the other hand, is already there.00:05
tsimonq2LXQt isn't supported by us in Xenial, by the way.00:06
tsimonq2And again, that's your opinion.00:06
