is this just a temporary documentation to support the transition period for rolling from 22.04 to 24.04?

It also covers 24.04 to 26.04, and so on. But yes, this is targeting for handling during transition periods, but as I mention a couple of times in the document, could be used for your own specific rosdistro needs (this is just the motivating example I'm How-To-ing on).

I prefer non-abstract examples so someone can understand in a particular context what to do. I find it easier to read and mentally insert my own problem set rather than just saying OS-X to OS-Z and keeping things so general that it makes the language hard to follow. Given that this is in the How-To section of the website, that feels like the appropriate diction anyway
