Today, July 23, 2015, is the day that 14.10 Utopic reached End of Life.

While this means new questions (stressing the new) about 14.10 are off topic, older questions (both answered and unanswered) that were around before the EOL date should not be closed or deleted.

This is done here with the consensus of the moderators which is that the primary reason for is not supporting EOL releases is because those versions no longer receive updates to repair bugs or malfunctioning packages, nor security updates and support, and you should not use those versions because of the lack of security updates. This is not just my opinion, but has reached some consensus here on meta in other threads.

Note that 12.04, 14.04, and 15.04 remain all currently supported.

If you have an issue with how we handle EOL releases, you need to bring up this issue in a different thread. This thread here is NOT a valid thread for arguing against the EOL policies. This thread is simply a notice that, in accordance with the current moderation policies, these questions are offtopic because of the End of Life date.
