[ale] UBuntu 17.10 EOL today

[Jim Kinney]

Rhel, and older redhat, was always don't roll with the .0 release. The .1 was usually good. By the time they got to .2, it was pretty rock solid. I think the rhel releases are slower than the old redhat and .1 is solid.

My fedora get upgraded about 2 months after release.
