Should do-release-upgrade upgrade from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 yet?

Compiling from source?

Seriously, steam engines are "ecologically sound" (burning wood - a
naturally growing resource),
but not, they cause cancer with their wood smoke.
But the point is, no one uses steam engines for "mission critical"
activities any more.
Sometimes we have to put the flint knife down and revert to the mundane
electric razor.
I do not look with any longing back to the H-8 computer with its 24K of
static RAM and paper tape punch.
I marvel at my laptop, its 64bit CPU, 4K display ($239.00 on Amazon), etc.
They have their good points too.

Is any of this relevant to this forum at all?
Of course not, and this is my point (finally! :-)
