FYI Github actions have already deprecated Ubuntu 20.04, and will start randomly failing CI tests using them during March 2025 #5155

Description

@jafingerhut

Some context: actions/runner-images#11101

Note that there are 8-hour scheduled Ubuntu 20.04 outage periods on March 4, 11, 18, and 25 where jobs attempting to use Ubuntu 20.04 will fail. I do not know if such jobs will fail with some random probability, or 100% of the time, during those periods.

If someone really, really wants to continue CI tests using Ubuntu 20.04, I recommend that they figure out how to do so and implement it. I am not motivated to do so, as I am personally OK if we stop CI tests on Ubuntu 20.04.

I think a higher priority should be given to starting CI tests on Ubuntu 24.04.
