If approved, Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 would commit to providing its users with an extended period of package updates, critical fixes and security updates until the time of the next LTS release, Ubuntu 16.04, in 2016.Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 Seeking LTS Status
At two years and three months the LTS window would be half that of ‘regular’ Ubuntu, which is backed by Canonical for five years on the desktop.
