How can we support this version of the distro when we don't have the
latest updates, which only Canonical customers can receive?
This version was removed a few months ago from the documentation because
of that.

For Ubuntu 21.10, is it worth supporting this version, which support
will end in July this year? Of course, no problem to run sanity tests on
this one, which will help with the next Ubuntu LTS...

Other than that, the new ones look fine to me.

Cheers
Michael.

I have no position about this. My idea was only to align the documentation
with the implementation. But Paul Barker mentioned the following [1]:

After that, Lee Chee Yang updated the list in poky.conf [2].

A few days later I backported that patch to honister, hardknott and dunfell.
