Perhaps it would be wise to open #Ubuntu-LTS?

I thought I explained that. There are several different reasons. 1)
The percentage of LTS installations of Ubuntu Server are much higher
than for desktops, meaning that #Ubuntu-server will be able to
accommodate server LTS users. 2) #Ubuntu-server has much less traffic,
so there really isn't any need to split it up. 3) Server changes a lot
less than desktop over time, so it's easier to help someone using a
3-4 cycle old release of server than desktop. 4) Server users are
generally more technical minded and hence are able to make use of more
abstract information. They don't necessarily need to know the name or
location of the config files if they are told how to locate them.
Desktop users, on the other hand, often need to know where to click,
what the menus are called, etc.

Of course, if in the future we find a need to have a separate LTS
channel for server users, then there is nothing preventing us from
having one. I just think it should then be called #Ubuntu-Server-LTS.
