<br>
</div>I am very concerned about this proposed support timeline. 2 years and 3<br>
months means that the support period would end the same month that 16.04.1<br>
is likely to be released. Given that our policy has been to not recommend<br>
(or advertise in the UI) LTS upgrades until the first point release, this<br>
effectively gives users zero margin between the dropping of security support<br>
for Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04, and the first upgrades to Ubuntu-GNOME 16.04.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>If that the case, then it is definitely a valid point and I'm very glad that Tim has agreed to extend the support to 3 years and I will put each and every effort into this as long as I can :)<br>

I would not be comfortable endorsing an LTS status for a release that is not<br>
going to provide a reasonable overlap between the LTS support periods. I<br>
think we should regard 3 years of support as the minimum for LTS status.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div></div><div><br>And the Wiki Page has been updated as well:<br><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/14.04/LTS-Proposal">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/14.04/LTS-Proposal</a><br>
