I think the point that Dimitri is making is that it makes no sense to say that UbuntuStudio will have 5 years of (community security) support, if it depends on a desktop environment that won't have security support for that same time period. While you could decide to provide 5-year support for only the multimedia packages, I don't think we on the TB would be happy to sign off on saying UbuntuStudio as a flavor has 5-year support when the DE on the UbuntuStudio images only has 3 years of support. So I think the UbuntuStudio and Xubuntu communities should discuss this and reach an agreement on which support period to use for these shared components, and set their LTS support accordingly. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
