Hi Josh, The Ubuntu Security team endeavours to support the various packages in each Ubuntu release for the lifetime of the Ubuntu release itself, regardless of corresponding upstream project's release / support cycles.
In this case, even though upstream RabbitMQ will be ending support for rabbitmq 3.8 on 31 July 2022, the Ubuntu Security team will then instead look to backport patches from the upstream 3.9 (or 3.10 etc) releases to the 3.8.2 release as shipped in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as required.
