It's a part of Ubuntu 25.10 to get it ready for prime time for Ubuntu 26.04.

Users who need stability should use the LTS releases. The interim releases have always been more experimental, and have always been where Canonical introduces the big changes to ensure everything's mature by the time the LTS comes around.



The problem is that this isn't Canonical's own stance. From https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle

> Every six months between LTS versions, Canonical publishes an interim release of Ubuntu, with 25.10 being the latest example. These are production-quality releases and are supported for 9 months, with sufficient time provided for users to update, but these releases do not receive the long-term commitment of LTS releases.


Running production on non-LTS Ubuntu would be insane (unless it was a very short-term deployment on a more modern system).
