Wrong. They merely stop supporting it when a new version is released, just like everyone else. You can skip Pro and get the same experience you get with any other distro.

Wrong.

I'm 100% right.

You can skip Pro and get the same experience you get with any other distro.

And that's where you are wrong. Fedora etc. ship package updates for the entire support cycle. Ubuntu only for Main. Universe is left without formal support. Fedora etc. have no problems shipping updates. I already explained it to you. You just don't understand.

That is a fundamental difference, the Universe repository is community maintained outside of the Pro service. It always was before Pro too. I don't think Fedora has a separate repo for community-maintained packages. I still don't see the issue with offering something above and beyond what you traditionally have and charging a fee for it. They could just have easily never provided official support for Universe.
