"In addition to the regular six-monthly releases, the Ubuntu team may make
an Enterprise Release (based on an existing time-based release) that has
received additional stabilisation, polish and translation work. These
Enterprise Releases will be supported for a longer period than the standard
18 month support of the time based releases. Upgrades will be supported from
enteprise release to enterprise release."
