Correct. These are community pages. It just so happens that a Canonical
employee updated it initially, but usually the community steps up to
update it. I made a few changes yesterday, but did not have enough time
to go through it in detail.
These "technical specs" appear to be a listing of specific packages and
their versions which are readily available via packages.ubuntu.com so
I'm not sure of the usefulness?
I guess if someone was wanting to evaluate Ubuntu as an enterprise
choice vs. say RHEL, SuSE or other options, having a reasonably
up-to-date Server page with complete information would be something I
would expect. I was under the impression that was where Canonical was
wanting to go with their Server version? 'Community' or no, I am a bit
surprised the company doesn't keep up their website a little better.
You might go to packages.ubuntu.com; I might go to DistroWatch and
compare various distributions/releases, and someone else might have
another way. But neither excuses Canonical from keeping their .com site
up to date.
YMMV.
