And once more, ESM rears its head.ESM comes with no community support. Support
for ESM releases is for *paid Canonical support via Ubuntu Advantage
subscriptions*. The Community Council clarified this with Canonical who will
be putting out a more descriptive document explaining ESM and this information.
None of the prior releases RE: ESM had any details about End of Standard
Support - thats a new thing that was recently added to releases. So yes ESM
repos will get you additonal security patches but it won't extend to community
support - that will require paid Canonical contracts.16.04 to 18.04 is a valid
upgrade path so d-r-u will work. But you will still need to upgrade to 18.04
and I recommend doing that sooner than later.Thomas

good until April 2024. Am I mistaken?"Is Ubuntu 16.04 LTS still supported
