The support of software from 'universe' packages might enforce a release
upgrade to some users.

When for example Yahoo unfortunately ended the free weather service in
January, the weather plugin for lxpanel before around git 0.9.3.r2448
stopped working. I don't know at what commit exactly, maybe it's exactly
2448 that replaced the weather service. However, for my 16.04 install I
build a package with the new weather plugin myself. Some users might be
unable to do it and there not necessarily is a PPA or snap available for
some packages, that necessarily need an update, because the software
provided stopped working. Such an issue might not happen for packages
from 'main'.
