Which only came out a few months ago, and which only recently released its .1, so the do-release-upgrade message only recently appeared for most people.

I'd be interested to know how many folks have changed their current production over to 26TLS in the last six months. I'm guessing not a lot.

So yes, there is a newer LTS, but what is its current market share as compared to 24 TLS (or even 22LTS)?

Ubuntu releases its LTSes in even years, and Debian does its releases in odd years:
