From an outside perspective, I might look at the cadence and type of updates that the virtual environment takes on, so I may read the following README section:
https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments#updates-to-virtual-environments
However, one of the most important pieces of information to me might be the policy surrounding what will actually be updated to the virtual environment.
Although the
latest
tag process may be long and complex, it would be especially helpful to know the policy for each of the various types of tools, OS versions, and more so that somebody can understand at a glance what is likely going to be updated & the timeframe it may take.For example, if there was a section or wiki that described the cadence of taking on new
Ubuntu
versions and it specifying that the policy is only LTS releases meaning even versions, that would really help. Another thought for tooling would be the same policies around SDKs and such. In a similar example above, various versions of .NET Core 3.0.X are removed due to .NET EOL policy.A wiki or table of some sort and a link to each of the LTS or EOL policies that the virtual environments follows would be extremely helpful!
