Thanks for your feedback. I think
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME#Support
is more clear now.

While https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases is not clear, the individual
release pages do mention the support lifespan at the top of the page.

Unless supported by a particular flavor, packages outside of 'main' or
'restricted' are generally only supported for the first 3 years of an
LTS. But almost everybody uses at least some packages in 'universe'.

Thanks,
