Hi, perhaps I was not able to found the information here: https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle I was not aware of it… normally distros say this when it is happening. I am sorry if they do freeze but as you can see on release page there is no info at all - it was there I remember it very well. Once again, it was perhaps lack of my knowledge. We are all good here… 5 to 8 months came out of logic, to have time to test everything before deploying. thanks.
edit2: I guess I am not alone
