I agree that someone running disco today and/or after its release could
still have the need to create a Ubuntu cloud image based VM for
autopkgtest-virt-qemu with precise and trusty.

Especially in the context of our team (Canonical support eng team) +
considering the fact that Precise and Trusty are the two first releases
not going straight to EOL, but are eligible for ESM (Extended Security
Maintenance) provided by UA --> https://www.ubuntu.com/esm

They are going EOL at Ubuntu community point of view, but not at
Canonical point of view.
