no, he said that the updates gained from archive.ubuntu.com in
(K?)ubuntu-updates and (K?)ubuntu-security should be merged into the cd
after a certain amount of time (3 months).
While i agree with the idea in principal it means updating the gpg keys
and changing packages for the 'stable' branch. So i have to disagree
with it when the 18 month lifetime is taken into consideration.

Also, its not a reason to take a website down.
