Yes, though to clarify it's sanest to interpret our LTS distro
statement as testing on whatever the latest LTS release is at the
_start_ of the development cycle. Switching default testing
platforms has proven to be extremely disruptive to the development
process so we want that to happen as soon after the coordinated
release as feasible. That means the plan is to have the mandatory
PTI jobs for the Rocky cycle stick with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (our
ubuntu-xenial nodes) which provides Python 3.5, but encourage teams
to add jobs running on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (our ubuntu-bionic nodes) as
soon as they can to get a leg up on any potential disruption
(including the Python 3.6 it provides) before we force the PTI jobs
over to it at the start of the Stein cycle.
