Ubuntu's release cycle policy is simply incompatible with RabbitMQ's
release strategy, which itself is a bit crappy. Ubuntu/Debian will never
keep pace with this.

I think there is three options to decouple Ubuntu's and RabbitMQ's
release cycles:


1) Change Ubuntu's policy of pinning software versions to Ubuntu releases and 
do update the Ubuntu packages frequently to new RabbitMQ versions. (Not really 
recommended.)


2) Drop RabbitMQ debian/ubuntu packages and turn it into snaps, where each 
major RabbitMQ release gets it's own snap channel, along a 'latest' channel. 
This way, every admin can actively select the version, and can perform the 
upgrade through each version without skipping one, simply by choosing the snap 
channel. 


3) Completely drop RabbitMQ from Ubuntu (due to their crappy release strategy), 
and let users use it with docker/podman, where RabbitMQ itself publishes their 
docker images.
