ubuntu-support-status returns inaccurate and misleading information.

It uses the Supported field in the Packages file which hasn't been used or updated since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and earlier releases when we had a 3 year/5 year support split between desktop and server. (See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Official%20Support)

It also uses the term "unsupported" instead of "community-supported" which doesn't accurately portray the status of universe packages.

This tool should be rewritten to return more accurate results, or simply removed completely.
