I wasn't getting any nightly package update lately and checking [1] I've just noticed this boost bump has left Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) out. Ubuntu 16.04 will be supported until April 2021 [2].
Was this overlooked when checking distros? Or was it a deliberate decision? Is there anything that can be done? I've been planning to move to a newer Ubuntu LTS release for some time but didn't really have the need while it is supported (everything stable and working very well). I guess there may be more people in a situation similar to mine.
