| Jul 16, 2013 at 2:02 | comment | added | Seth | @AdamLear (Per your second paragraph in the update) I think you misunderstand what we mean by "EOL" (end-of-life). A new version of Ubuntu is released every 6 months. Because of how fast new things come out and old things become outdated we, as a site, decided that when Canonical (the main supporter of Ubuntu and copyright holder) stopped providing support for a version we would as well. Asking the OP to upgrade and closing the question. That is what the EOL close reason is/does. | |

| Jul 10, 2013 at 15:17 | comment | added | Oli Mod | What was the outcome of this conversation, Anna? We are in the process of rewriting a couple of existing reasons but we still absolutely require one more reason for end-of-life questions. | |
| Jul 8, 2013 at 16:16 | comment | added | Mateo | I have also seen a strange behavior, that some are closing as an available reason(even when the reason does not fit) - instead of using a custom one, like in this question askubuntu.com/questions/313021/… the default ones show as the close reason, and makes it incredibly confusing. | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 18:19 | comment | added | RobotHumans | Thank you for stopping by. We appreciate it. Not directly useful for the situation at hand, but I think sometimes we just need to say thank you. | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 16:53 | comment | added | Oli Mod | I think we could probably combine non-linux and non-Ubuntu into one reason but yeah, There are Ubuntu+1 issues and bug reports where we need to push people to Launchpad and EOL issues where we need the user to be on a minimum version of Ubuntu to be covered. These are things that happen all the time and we need a standard what-to-do next piece of text to push the user in the right direction (the point of the custom close messages). | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 4:49 | comment | added | jokerdino Mod | Hey Anna, thanks for stopping by. Ideally, we would like at least two more reasons to cover - End of Release Ubuntu version questions and yet to be released Alpha/Beta release version questions. A 6th slot can be utilized to accommodate non-Linux questions as well. | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 1:18 | comment | added | Mateo | also note that both these reasons have helpful links, and wording that is often truncated in a custom close or comment, for example the use of "eol" here is confusing askubuntu.com/questions/316125/… , multiple comments - varried wording - also users looking to flag off-topic for reasons not avaible to flagging meta.askubuntu.com/questions/6988/… | |
| Jul 7, 2013 at 0:57 | comment | added | Mateo | hi, we have been discusing this on the AU meta, meta.askubuntu.com/questions/6918/… , we are missing two of our often used from the "not the right place for" list on the help site askubuntu.com/help/on-topic, one major one being End of life releases, the other issues with the in development relase. | |
