Warty is tweaked just right. How long will it be supported?

You've got a year; each release is supposed to be supported (at least
with minimal security updates) for eighteen months from release, so
since Warty's six months old that leaves twelve to go.

There has been talk of releasing longer lived 'Enterprise' versions of
Ubuntu to help the commercial support business; there hasn't been one
yet but it's posible that if a Warty based one ever appears you could
upgrade/switch to that and have more than a year of support.
Alternatively it might not be too traumatic to take updates from Debian
Sarge if need be once the Warty support period is up.
