The use-case I have in mind is people deploying LTS now to found out there is a bug in a package important to them that has been fixed in a later release. If the bug is not SRU-worthy, their options boils down to 1. run a non-LTS release of Ubuntu to benefit from the bug fix, or 2. use an unsupported/unmaintained version of the buggy package (backport, PPA, compiled from source, whatever). Agreed that Apache is not such a good example here. -- Etienne Goyer Technical Account Manager - Canonical Ltd Ubuntu Certified Instructor - LPIC-3 ~= Ubuntu: Linux for Human Beings =~ -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
