Ah, I take it back (or atleast a half of it).

We have been already using 20.04 on the .github/ side, and 1/3 removed only from .gitlab-ci removing the last user of 16.04, so presumably this has already tested well for 20.04 and there is no need to add "corresponding special casing".

I'll keep reading the list backwards, this time resisting my temptation to utter nonsense without thinking much, attempting to catch up.

Thanks.
