Oi Edson
I don’t know what you mean by “efficiency test”. But to answer your question, these are the use cases we were designing for:
- Someone was using Livepatch in 18.04 LTS, then they upgraded to 19.04, and they skipped past (or forgot) the warning that Livepatch wouldn’t be available after they upgraded, and now they are wondering what’s going on.
- Someone is already using 19.04 when someone tells them about Livepatch, and they don’t know that it’s LTS-only, so they go searching for it in the GUI.
For these cases, the previous behavior — simply hiding the tab altogether — was not helpful. The drawback is that for as long as you keep using non-LTS releases, there will be one tab of stuff that you can’t use. But since that is just one tab in a settings window, I think it’s worthwhile.
