I fully agree, that this is not good for a stable update. But on the other 
side, developers are forced to discontinue the support for a stable Ubuntu LTS 
like 18.04, because there are no updates which are necessary to run the 
application without the newest bugfixes. 
This will then also force end-users to switch the OS or drop the use of the now 
not supported end user software, thus the complete sense of a LTS is therefore 
broken.

Also switching to a newer ubuntu version is mostly ok for many end-
users, but not for those who use a distribution building on top of
Ubuntu 18.04 eg. Linux Mint(, the next release will come end of June).

As a developer I wished there would be a rolling release cycle APT
repository for LTS Ubuntu distributions, containing at least all stable
packages with active support.
