We are asked to make a proposal for our LTS, and how long we would like to support it.
If no one objects, I will create a simple page declaring that we would like to support Ubuntu Studio for the full period that Ubuntu supports it's LTS (5 years), and following their schedule of point releases. Motivation: Older machines will have use of an older release, and it is quite common for production machines to keep the same release over a period of many years for the sake of stability and simplicity (no need to learn new features). Support needed is quite minimal. If there are bugs specific to Ubuntu Studio we fix them. Past the Xubuntu 3 year support period, if there are any XFCE specific bugs, we fix those too - but usually after 3 years, not much changes, so support is quite easy. Possible reasons against: Xubuntu will only support their LTS for 3 years. Since we base our default DE on theirs, it means we need to take over support for everything XFCE related after those three years.
