Both of your points seem valid; the one in support of sticking with
18.04 for longer, and the other in support of moving to 20.04 soon.

At this point I'm "less" certain about having to move to 20.04 *soon* --
but, I'm still "quite" certain that's the safer way. We tend to forget
about stuff like this, and it accumulates.

Thanks
