<div>Don't forget they recently lengthened the long term support from 3 to 5 years for the desktop.  It's seems to me clearly designed to conserve developer resources by pushing users who don't want to regularly upgrade to the LT releases.</div>

"Ubuntu developers have announced, after a lengthy debate that began earlier this spring, that non-longterm support (LTS) releases of the operating system will receive official support only for nine months, instead of the eighteen Canonical previously provided."<br>

<br>
<br>
It's the new approach, I guess -- pushing users to upgrade within 3 months after each new release.  Is this a good idea?  What do you all think?<br>
