if you recommend such a thing to LTS users you should really point out
that non LTS releases have only 9 months of support and force you to
stay on non-LTS releases and to do a release upgrade a lot more often

the relevant fixes will be backported to the LTS (in 20.04.2) if
someone properly reported them as bugs (did you report your issues ?)
