Ubuntu 26.04 Looks To Retire Its ISO Tracker: "Held Together With Duct Tape & Goodwill" (www.phoronix.com)

Canonical is looking to eliminate use of its Ubuntu ISO Tracker that has been relied on the past 15+ years and in turn 30+ releases. Their ISO Tracker has grown unreliable and difficult to maintain. But without any proper solution ready, for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS the ISO Tracker may be replaced by a temporary spreadsheet and Discourse thread

But for now the immediate approach is to use a temporary shared spreadsheet/dashboard, Ubuntu release management maintaining a testing coordination tread on Discourse, and then to eventually have new tooling in place.

Temporary is never temporary. From a reliability and maintenance point of view, I totally get it but this temporary solution also seems terrible.
