[Bug 1995405] Re: Add SUPPORT_END to os-release

[Jeremy Bicha]

The approximate end of support date is known for the non-LTS releases. I
think it's possible for Ubuntu Pro enablement to update /etc/os-release

Some parts of /etc/os-release are very useful (almost essential); other
fields are less practical. Perhaps it's not worth the work to support
this new field.

Title:
  Add SUPPORT_END to os-release

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  There is a new suggested field to the os-release file:
  SUPPORT_END=YYYY-MM-DD

  If it is set, systemd 252 apparently sets a "support-ended" taint flag
  once that date has been reached.
