That speculation is simply incorrect. We've never had a discussion about dropping support for other distros. Open source is better when more people use it, and that means its better to have it used on other distros.

We've always tried to be at the forefront of new kernel capabilities - especially security and container tech - and it helps that Ubuntu generally has very modern kernels. On Ubuntu we can make releases of the kernel and LXD that line up nicely. Other distros with older kernels have always been supported as well as possible, and I don't see why that would not continue. There is certainly no plan at Canonical to inhibit that.

Is that why you commercialised ksplice?

Ksplice was never owned by Ubuntu...
