Hang on a cotton-pickin' minute. 11.04 is /not/ going to be an LTS
release. The next LTS is expected to be 12.04, 2yr on from 10.04, as
that was 2yr on from 8.04 and that was from the slightly-delayed 6.06.

They're most certainly not testing Unity out on an LTS. They did that
with the button-move, which I thought was brave or foolish, but they
are at least giving Unity 2 full releases before the next LTS. Plenty
of time to abandon it if it all goes wrong!
