Hello jy,

This doesn't apply to the Tango Studio repositories, those are Lucid
only. And Lucid being an LTS release doesn't mean PPA's have to support
it, when it comes to PPA's you have to deal with the whims of the
maintainers of those PPA's. I never enable any PPA or repository unless
I'm 100% sure a repository won't break anything or remains maintained
for a longer period of time. Needless to say I've never enabled any
KXStudio or FalkTX PPA, I only installed some separate packages,
actually very few packages because most of those packages depend on
newer libraries or stuff that isn't in Lucid (like Jack2).

Best,

Jeremy
