Hi Honza,

There may be other opinions, but I think there is no reason for you to extend your support beyond what Ubuntu offers for the OS platform: It's 18 months for a normal biannual release, three years for LTS on desktop and five years for LTS on server. Although starting with 12.04 LTS, it will be five years for LTS for both desktop and server. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS)

Best regards,

Tom

Well, yes I'm ... It depends whether we want to go for the server support lifetime. But thinking of it now, since development should happen on desktops I guess it is reasonable to drop Hardy Smile

And just today I noticed Jaunty support was removed from Launchpad, so it is gone forever whether anyone likes it or not Very Happy
