So I came across a questionquestion where the OP was trying to upgrade from an EOL release. Under normal circumstances, any (new) questions about an EOL release should be closed, but what about someone trying to get off of an EOL release by upgrading?

There's a page in the Ubuntu wiki about upgrading from EOL releases (although it's slightly out of date), which makes me think that there's at least some support for upgrading from an EOL release.

I've marked the question to be closed as a duplicate of a question that answers how to upgrade from an EOL release, but there are two other votes to close the question outright. What's the standard on this?
