<p>So if I understand the recommendations would be: </p>
<p>QGIS.org repo + ubuntugis stable for LTR users</p>
<p>QGIS.org + ubuntugis unstable for those wanting latest

So what is maintained by qgis.org and what by ubuntugis ?

QGIS has been in the Ubuntu repos for a long time, however it only get
security/minor updates once an Ubuntu release comes out. So basically
always it's always old. Example 16.04 users only get 2.8.6
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qgis">https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qgis</a>
QGIS.org always has the most current releases, built against the
dependencies in the stock Ubuntu. This works ok, except when you need
newer gdal for more current format support.
QGIS.org also has the most current releases built against current
releases of dependencies which come from Ubuntugis...
Ubuntugis has 2 major repos:
Stable - generally older versions of everything in case you need them,
want LTR super long or need support for aging releases of Ubuntu.
Unstable - mostly the latest version possible, except QGIS which is
usually an LTR release (I forget why this happened). Also has support
for older distros.
Note: OSGeoLive packaging, and Debian packaging both feed into Ubuntugis
directly helping to keep all the packages up to date.

I agree it's absolutely confusing to know what to setup. Not sure how we
solve that other than offering the most preferred option as the first
instructions.
I think we're at the point where 2.18 can move to Ubuntugis stable and 3
can go into unstable. Although until 3.5 comes out 2.18.x still needs to
be easily installable with current dependencies.
Thanks,
Alex
