The onus here is that we will need to cleanup all older questions that have ambiguity in their tags or are untagged. side note: questions without a tagged version can be considered to be applicable to all releases... | |

| Nov 28, 2011 at 21:54 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | I agree that an automatic banner would be appropriate, but not that kind of automatic banner. After all, it's often entirely false to say that a question written for an unsupported Ubuntu release is inapplicable to later releases. Instead, I think we should have a banner that warns users of the serious security risks taken by continuing to use an end-of-life release of Ubuntu, possibly with links to information about upgrading, and perhaps a short warning that an answer for one release might not apply to another release. (That really has nothing to do with the release being unsupported.) | |
