If you need/wish to cut down the number of supported releases all the way down to two at a time (from current ~5) there are really only two options: 1. Cut LTS support from 5 to 4 years, do not offer support for the rolling dev version. 2. Cut LTS support from 5 to ~2 years, support a single release (rolling or non-LTS) in addition. Either way the LTS release, which OEMs and (some) ISVs presumably depend on, would need a shorter support period. Two years of LTS support seems completely untenable, so that only really leaves one path forward, if two releases are indeed the maximum that can be supported. It comes down to simply cutting all non-LTS releases and shaving a year off LTS support. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
