Ubuntu 25.04 has been unsupported for over a month. How will sprites get security and feature upgrades?

In my sprites, more /etc/lsb-release says

…. DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=“Ubuntu 25.04”

But Ubuntu 25.04 has been unsupported for over a month, since Jan 15 2026.

I created another sprite just now, and it is unsupported from the get-go. Not a good look…

The question in a few other queries here (now closed) is, how will sprites get security and feature upgrades?

And when you roll out a new base VM, how can we most efficiently move / port / test our stuff for a new sprite? Can we re-use the old name somehow?

Sprites are awesome, but this is a pretty big issue right now.

(I started this new topic since my last one from Feb 1 went unanswered for 7 days and was auto-closed. Let’s keep this one alive.)

Thanks!
