According to this: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu610end-of-life
Ubuntu 6.10 should be supported for 5 more days from now. Isn't edubuntu
 have the same support lifetime as ubuntu?
Maybe it's not available because there are two ways to choose ubuntu
release:
-bleeding edge with normal support time;
-super stable with long support time.
And in both categories newest releases are recommended, and older are
removed to not confuse users. That's what I'm thinking :)
