I wonder how angry will the maintainers be in 2036:

aaaa, why do we have to support this ancient release, why did we promise 12 years of support
- That's how you get successful, do something others don't
  
  Humorously, in 12 years we can say “well, it still works on Ubuntu” 🤷‍♂️
- Not a problem. Ship the component as a snap instead. 😊
- "Oh no, we're getting paid to do this thing instead of some other thing."
  
  Part of having a job is working on things that need to be worked on, not because they're fun.
