What if we reduce the supported Ubuntu versions in nightly-builds, but keep
support in the stable release? In this way, the load will occur only at the

What do you think about this?

Do we know
which releases are more commonly deployed organizationally?
I would assume the LTS releases, but such obvious assumptions prove
incorrect all the time -- one sufficiently large deployment using, say,
Meerkat, could make that a higher priority for us than Lucid. Do we
have statistics on which versions get hit up for updates most
frequently? Is there a better measure than that that we might use,
given that many deployments might not update frequently at all?
A public poll is all I can think of. As you said, many institutions will
not upgrade often, which skews the statistics on this end. Add in local
mirrors (at least one TDE deployment I am aware of does this) and I have
no valid data on which to base a decision.
