=== Changes in Ubuntu releases decided by the Ubuntu Technical Board ===
The Ubuntu Technical Board announce their decision to change support
for non-LTS releases from 18 to 9 months, and the adoption of a
mechanism to allow users to continuously track the development focus

Also read the follow-up post by Rick Spencer, Vice President of Ubuntu
Engineering, for his comments on the decisions by the Ubuntu
Technical Board, and how they will impact users:
