<snap>
Now I am about to set up my machine anew. But I still can't completely
make up my mind, which release I should use. I have the choice between
a more stable 18.04 LTS, and a more up to date 19.04.

I tend to choose 18.04 LTS, but I wonder what I'll be missing compared
to 19.04
</snap>

One of the things I noticed, is that 19.04 has  an up-2-date version  of all sorts of security related packages.
Eventhough those packages were upstream available before the release-date of 18.04, they choose not to include them.
Due to network-instability of 18.04 we might skip it alltogether, and jump from 16.04 to 19.04
