I could further reduce the list by removing the distros that we are 
still supposed to test (such as Ubuntu 19.04), but that we obviously 
cannot support any more as they have reached their end of life.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Michael.

I think for the older releases, they should document what we tested
when they originally shipped. We could note that it was originally
tested with them but they're EOL?

Cheers,

Good idea.
I could do that with all the releases we support, and effectively, we 
don't loose the information about initially supported distros.

This will help when people get back to a project after a few months or 
years, and their distro version is no longer supported by the distro vendor.
Thanks
Michael.
