Ubuntu 16.04 is on 1.6 which is bug-fix "supported" till 2021. It's probably fine to deprecate next year. Ubuntu 18.04 is on 1.8 which is bug-fix "supported" till 2023.
Debian has 1.8 in their stable and 2.0.9 in unstable, but I'm not as familiar with their release cycles. RHEL/Centos 7 haproxy package is on 1.5, but they've also provided a rh-haproxy18 which provides 1.8. AFAICT from a distro perspective you are pretty good to kill off 1.5. Dave. FYI, I'm an Ubuntu Dev if you ever need one.
