What might happen is that we'll stick with Lubuntu LXDE for 18.04 LTS, and have a smooth upgrade procedure and all the bugs worked out for 20.04. While it *may* be an option on the table, it's not an option I'd personally like to take. Once LXDE is gone, I don't want to bring it back unless it gets a GTK 3 or even GTK 4/etc. port. That being said, the support period for 18.04 will be until April of 2021 for Lubuntu. Once that time comes around (maybe even when 18.04 is released), we can discuss support periods for LXDE. If somebody has a whole stack built on Lubuntu and doesn't feel like that's enough time to migrate it, please feel free to personally contact me if that is nowhere near enough time for you and we can work something out. (don't worry, when we finally look at deprecating LXDE, we'll work something out, this won't be the final chance...) -- Simon Quigley tsimo...@lubuntu.me tsimonq2 on freenode and OFTC 5C7A BEA2 0F86 3045 9CC8 C8B5 E27F 2CF8 458C 2FA4
