[Robbie Williamson <robbie@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For those of you who may have missed this announcement. Canonical has
created the Ubuntu Cloud archive. Starting with the Folsum release,
users will be able to elect to enable this archive, and install newer
releases of OpenStack (and the dependencies) as they become available up
through the next Ubuntu LTS release (presumably 14.04).  Bug processing
and patch contributions will follow standard Ubuntu practice and policy
where applicable.  Canonical commits to maintaining and supporting new
OpenStack releases for Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS in our Ubuntu Cloud
archive for at least 18 months after they release.  Canonical will stop
introducing new releases of OpenStack for Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS into
the Ubuntu Cloud archive with the version shipped in the next Ubuntu
Server LTS release (presumably 14.04).  We will maintain and support
this last updated release of OpenStack in the Ubuntu Cloud archive for 3
years, i.e. until the end of the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS lifecycle. In order to
allow for a relatively easy upgrade, and still adhere to Ubuntu
processes and policy, we have elected to have archive.canonical.com be
the home of the Ubuntu Cloud archive.  We will enable update paths for
each OpenStack release.
  e.g. Enabling “precise-folsum” in the archive will provide access to
  all OpenStack Folsum packages built for Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS
  (binary and source), any updated dependencies required, and
  bug/security fixes made after release.
