Disable noble migration at end of June 2025
Focal will go end-of-life at the end of May, at which point the SI will disable itself. We'll give people a 1-month grace period to use the noble migration to upgrade, but after that we'll disable it because:
- We don't want servers to sit without security updates for a long time and then go back into usage.
- The noble migration code is liable to break in the future since noble is a bit of a moving target, and it will no longer be actively tested.
Admins will still be able to manually upgrade by taking a backup and restoring it on a fresh install.
Note that we'll need to push focal and noble packages for this.
