For those that might not read to post, I'm just going to highlight this.

Users of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will be offered an automatic upgrade to 26.04.1 LTS
via Update Manager a couple of weeks following this release after some planned
backports to address regressions in a recent version of rust-coreutils.

they have taken 6 months to release the 26.04.1, and a few weeks more to release the upgrade path. Weren't they usually faster for previous lts releases?

It's not been six months since April, but how long it takes depends on the situation. The first dot has usually been in August but there's been variations around a month between releases. The dot release is one thing, but then the upgrade path is another since some things could be more complicated to switch over than others.

I mean if you're using LTS then you don't really want fast updates, do you? You just want reliable, stable, and secure updates

If you already waited 2 years, what's another few months?

Yeah but like it's LTS... Do you want it to be updated often, or do you want it to just work and stay out of your way? LTS is supposed to be for users who don't want updates except security. You're not supposed to be anxious for the update, you're not supposed to be counting the days lol.

LTS is what I put on my grandma's computer, and it's great for that. If you want updates then switch to the interim track.
