ubuntu announced 10 years of support for version 18.04. This is due to the willingness to support devices and iot platforms. Is therefore armbian based on 18/04 will be supported for 10 years?

Elon Musk announced he will buy off Tesla  This is on the same level.

Armbian is flexible by choosing userspace and the answer is probably yes. If there will be interest and support from users and industry.
