Canonical has announced an extension of the Legacy add-on for Ubuntu Pro, increasing support for Ubuntu LTS releases to 15 years. This change affects users of long-term Ubuntu versions, particularly in regulated industries, allowing them to maintain security and compliance without mandatory upgrades. The new support period starts with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr).
