From: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com> Hi, due to some constraints we will delay 19.11.11 a bit. But more importantly we also intend to extend the lifetime of 19.11 LTS by another year. That sounds great for users and downstream, but it also needs resources for backports, test and validation. Therefore this submission goes to a long recipient list of all validation-contacts and release maintainers. I'd hope to get a lot of sign-offs at least to patch 2 of this series representing the ability and commitment to validate/test these additional 19.11.x releases, because without you we can not make them work. For now this an experiment, but if it works out well quite likely will be applied to later LTS (20.11, 21.11, ...) as well.
