The "Long Term Support" versions of Ubuntu are every 2 years and have 5 
years of support.  Ubuntu 20.04 will be EOL in April of next year, so 
that's 9 months, and maybe not worth the effort.  Ubuntu 22.04 (with 
emacs 27) is still heavily used.  24.04 has recently come out, and has 
emacs 29.

I certainly appreciate everyone's work!  :)
