[Bug 1953325] Re: Upcoming End of Life in January 2022

[Lucas Kanashiro]

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to file this bug. This seems to be a
recurrent question from users as you can see here [1]. Since rabbitmq-
server is in the main component [2], Canonical will keep supporting it
for the entire life cycle of the Ubuntu release, we will not move to a
newer version but keep monitoring for bugs and backporting security
fixes as needed. If you want a newer version you'd need to move to a
newer Ubuntu release.

I hope that answers your question.

Title:
  Upcoming End of Life in January 2022

Status in rabbitmq-server package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hello,

  the rabbitmq-server package version included in Ubuntu 20.04 will reach its end of life in January 2022. From then on, only RabbitMQ 3.9 will be officially supported by the RabbitMQ company.

  I do not know, how Canonical will continue to provide fixes when the
  mainline is out of support. I am sure there is a strategy for cases
  like that. Just want to raise attention for this issue and would like
  to get the strategy explained, so I could give it to my customer for
  whom I currently do an installation.

  Thank you in advance and also for your great work.

  Best Regards,
  Felix
