Yes as soon as it is patched and considered stable it will be

as untested and unstable.
Ubuntu 14.04 end of life on servers is 04/2019 but i have had very few
issues upgrading from server LTS 12.04-14.04 the migration usually
gets better and better. Several desktops have had issues doing 12.04
to 14.04 upgrade but both had many modifications. Todd

I'm looking at Ubuntu 14.04 LTS  And it is running PHP 5.5 which
will no longer be supported after June of 2016.  That would be
about a year and a half from now.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is supported through Jan or Feb of 2019 or about 4
years.

How does this work?  Does someone patch the unsupported PHP,
MySql, and Apache or does Ubuntu add the newer version that is
supported by their maintainers?  In other words is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
going to always contain PHP 5.5 (and maintain it themselves) or will
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS pull in a more recent version of PHP that is still
supported by PHP?

Thanks!!

Keith. At work we are currently running Drupal 7.34 on RHEL 6.5.
Our
local development vms are running on CentOS of the same version.
I
feel your pain however.

I am looking at Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server to run the LAMP stack
needed
for Drupal 8.  I have run Ubuntu for many uses over the past 5
years
and it is a solid server distribution. Ubuntu 's LTS server
versions
are outpacing CentOS and even Debian itself as the web server of
choice.  It is the number one choice for servers in an Openstack
deployment. It is the most provisioned server thanks to Vagrant
and
Packer.

Others may disagree but I am seriously considering the move to an
Openstack cloud with our Web servers running 12.04 LTS for
Drupal.
