Comment on Ubuntu Security Updates Are a Confusing Mess

Comments

I maintain https://endoflife.date/ubuntu. Ubuntu security policies are indeed a hot mess, and opaquely documented on their own website. I use it as an example of how not to document your support policies at https://endoflife.date/recommendations.

At one point Ubuntu changed the EOL tables on their Wiki from 5 years to 10 with no explanation about applicability/ESM - just calling it LTS.

It is among the longest pages on our website.
