I have an update for 10.04

*Ending Ubuntu Desktop support just means that we no longer release desktop-
related updates, the repository won't (can't) go away and be archived, since
server, as you note, still depends on it.  In that sense, lucid in general
is "supported" for another three years.  Nothing changes for people, they
just won't get non-server SRUs and security updates from Canonical, nor is
there a community commitment to make them.

So, your users don't need to do anything.  Kernels will keep getting
updated,
and life goes on.*

Regards,

Phill.
