That proposed minimum policy also happens to match the current full
support lifetimes for Debian and Ubuntu GNOME (although Debian now has
an LTS initiative and Ubuntu offers some level of support for 5 years
instead of the 3 that Ubuntu GNOME has committed to so far).

I'm hoping that Ubuntu webkit2gtk updates will be quicker in the future
once WSAs are published. I'm guessing that the first major update was
tough.

Thanks,
