--------------------------------------------
Github user jburwell commented on the issue:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/pull/1647
@wido While I understand that it is quite old and presents maintenance
challenges, it remains supported until [April
2017](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases). Therefore, it would be reasonable for
users to expect us to continue to support it until EOL. I have opened
conversation on dev@ and user@ in an effort to determine the impact (if any) to
users post 4.9.
In the meantime, would it be possible to split this PR into Ubuntu 16.04
support and removal of Ubuntu 12.04 support? If we decide to remove it, I
propose that we introduce it in the 4.10.x release. Not only is 4.9 an LTS
branch, it doesn't seem reasonable to drop support for a distribution in a
patch release (i.e. 4.9.0.0 supports Ubuntu 12.04 and 4.9.1.0 does not).
Conversely, Ubuntu 16.04 support seems like a worthy addition to LTS.
Splitting these two issues will provide the flexibility to implement such
removal of Ubuntu 12.04 in 4.10.x and the addition of Ubuntu 16.04 in 4.9.x+.
Does this approach seem reasonable?
