From Chris' input, it turns out that we do want to keep the last Ubuntu distro as a tier 3 platform for even-year ROS 2 releases, i.e., the first ROS 2 release after the switch to a new Ubuntu distro. There's a REP PR for this: ros-infrastructure/rep#413. Therefore, we can make this change for the Rolling docs (given the upcoming Kilted release), but not for the Jazzy docs. And I'll go through the official PMC process to get the above REP PR approved. |

I think Chris' input on Slack is enough to merge this, otherwise we can always follow up with another PR |

I found out that we list Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy as a tier 3 platform for Rolling (and Jazzy) in the Ubuntu source build instructions. However, the source of truth is REP 2000, and Jammy is not listed there:
This line was added here in #4342, but, looking at the original discussion on Discourse, I don't think it was really the real intention of the PR: https://discourse.ros.org/t/jazzy-jalisco-testing-tutorial-kickoff-party-instructions/37501/4.
The last ROS 2 distro that included the previous Ubuntu distro as a tier 3 platform was Humble (tier 1 was 22.04, with 20.04 as tier 3): https://www.ros.org/reps/rep-2000.html#humble-hawksbill-may-2022-may-2027. (I believe this was intentionally done so that Humble could work with reasonable efforts on the target platform of the last ROS 1 distro, Noetic.)
