[Bug 1953325] [NEW] Upcoming End of Life in January 2022

[Felix Paetow]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

the rabbitmq-server package version included in Ubuntu 20.04 will reach its end of life in January 2022. From then on, only RabbitMQ 3.9 will be officially supported by the RabbitMQ company.
https://www.rabbitmq.com/versions.html

I do not know, how Canonical will continue to provide fixes when the
mainline is out of support. I am sure there is a strategy for cases like
that. Just want to raise attention for this issue and would like to get
the strategy explained, so I could give it to my customer for whom I
currently do an installation.

Thank you in advance and also for your great work.

Best Regards,
Felix
