    My alphabet doesn’t go F, J, N, O.
    The page you linked has multiple tables and you need to refer to all of them to find the incremental alphabet mentioned above.
    Is it April in an even-numbered year? That’s an LTS and will be releasing sub-versions under the same name for twelve years.
    Is it April in an odd-numbered year? That’s a leapfrog fifteen-month release with no extended support.
    Is it October of any year? Eight months support, used as a preview/testing ground/stopgap for the following April’s big/small release (depending on the even/odd rule).
    Most people are only ever going to see Focal and Jammy and Noble.

      Okay? Not sure what you’re on about. Somehow only LTS versions count for you, yet those are also not okay because updates are published over time?

      I don’t understand your issue.
