The main thing: concerns were raised by several of the cloud platforms
people that LTS security doesn't seem to be working very well. They're
not seeing fixes happening for known issues, and so at the moment they
don't have trust in the process.
We therefore agreed as a team to *not* provide LTS support for cloud
images. Other people are welcome to pick up our scripts and config if
desired.
