+1 for bionic. (we can do an upgrade to focal when bionic reach EOL)

According to the release cycle page[1] of ubuntu ORG, the
Xenial (16.04) version is being deprecated, which means
no hardware and maintenance updates anymore. But we (LTP)
still merging new features and regression testcases, I'm afraid
that will bring some known failures in Xenial then to cost energy
for debugging.
