Nothing actually. What it means is Ubuntu is not something to run a
business on. 3 years?!?! 1 year?!?! Wow, and people complain
about the "MS upgrade treadmill"! MS is still supporting Windows 2000
after 8 years and XP after 6 years.

No business wants OS upgrades forced on them every 3 years in order to
stay supported. If MS did that you would be screaming "monopoly"!
