Ubuntu GNOME will not be doing a 16.04.6 release since we discourage
new installs of Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 because it will be unsupported
after April and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS has many improvements for GNOME fans.
So I marked the Ubuntu GNOME builds as disabled in the ISO tracker to
not waste the valuable time of our ISO testers.
Thanks,
