The AI-backed features will initially be as a "preview" and "strictly opt-in basis" for Ubuntu 26.10. For Ubuntu 27.04 and beyond, the plan is to have an initial setup wizard around prompt users on the AI native features they may want or not.

I don't see a problem if they do it like this.

Operative word here is "initially"

So for me it'll be an upgrade to 26.04 then stay there till I figure out a migration plan to Debian for my main workstation/server currently on 22.04.
