[00:49] <Eickmeyer> OvenWerks: What do you think about keeping the 18.04 backports open until July 2020? That gives people 3 months to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 rather than hard-cutting it off.
[00:51] <OvenWerks> I think backports are different than cycle support and it is ok to keep backports going as long as it makes sense
[00:52] <OvenWerks> The cycle support is for the ISO, but backports are part of the installer which applies to vanilla which has a longer support cycle.
[00:53] <Eickmeyer> Right, cycle support ended January, technically.
[00:53] <Eickmeyer> Because we released as non-LTS.
[00:54] <OvenWerks> Yeah, but vanilla is LTS and installer supports vanilla
[00:54] <Eickmeyer> Basically, the public doesn't understand. Ubuntu Studio 18.04 is non-LTS, so that screams "avoid" to the LTS-only people.
[00:54] <OvenWerks> So backports should do the same support.
[00:55] <Eickmeyer> Right, but flavor support is typically 3 years. Should we just go to 2021 on that then?
[00:55] <OvenWerks> That would be fine I guess.
[00:56] <Eickmeyer> Okay. I guess I should make some sort of announcement to that effect. Probably stipulating "Only with the backports PPA."
[00:56] <OvenWerks> Certainly I would prefer to see people using 18.04 till 20.04 than 16.04
[00:57] <Eickmeyer> Right. 16.04 is EOL on Thursday, and I already have a post scheduled for the website on that.
[01:01] <OvenWerks> By 18.04, systemd is reasonably fully in use and stable.
[01:01] <OvenWerks> 14.04 is all upstart, 16.04 has some of each...
[01:02] <Eickmeyer> Right.
