This sounds like a surprising and inconsiderate thing to do to our users. There's probably still time to get your transitional package into yakkety before feature freeze (or file for a feature freeze exception) but once it was shipped in an LTS we've agreed to support it for five years. (Where "support" is of course variable -- for main, we support it. For universe, the community supports it and someone will sponsor updates.) Be sure to consider how 16.04 LTS -> 18.04 LTS upgrades will work. We also support LTS to LTS upgrades. Thanks
