quick question regarding rabbitmq-server 3.8 EOL and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

[Josh Drake]

Hi,

I had a quick question regarding the rabbitmq-server package in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.  For background context, a rabbitmq support company we contracted seemed certain that rabbitmq-server was going end of life at the end of July (likely based on the info at https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html), and seemed pretty sure that this also meant it would no longer receive backported security patches on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS even though it is a LTS release.

This didn't sound right to me, so my question is: Will the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS version of rabbitmq-server continue to receive backported security patches throughout the lifetime of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, even after RabbitMQ's extended support for 3.8 ends at the July 2022?

Thanks,
Josh Drake
