Ubuntu Pro subscriptions expands security maintenance to over 30,000 packages for 10 years and provides optional, enterprise-grade phone and ticket support by Canonical.

with

Ubuntu Pro subscriptions expand security maintenance to over 30,000 packages for 10 years and provide optional, enterprise-grade phone and ticket support by Canonical.

I propose this edit to make the subject and verb agree.

The subject 'subscriptions' is plural so I make the verbs 'expand' and 'provide' rather than 'expands' and 'provides'.

An alternative to the edit in the commit

The subject 'subscriptions' could be made singular to make the subject and verbs agree:

An Ubuntu Pro subscription expands security maintenance to over 30,000 packages for 10 years and provides optional, enterprise-grade phone and ticket support by Canonical.

Replace
'Ubuntu Pro subscriptions expands security maintenance to over 30,000 packages for 10 years and provides optional, enterprise-grade phone and ticket support by Canonical.'
with
'Ubuntu Pro subscriptions expand security maintenance to over 30,000 packages for 10 years and provide optional, enterprise-grade phone and ticket support by Canonical.'

I propose this edit to make the [subject and verb agree](https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/grammar/subject_verb_agreement.html). 

'subscriptions' is plural so I make the verbs 'expand' and 'provide' rather than 'expands' and 'provides'.

Alternatively, the subject 'Ubuntu Pro subscriptions' could be made singular:

Another alternative to the edit in the commit

The word 'subscriptions' could be removed to make the subject and verbs agree:

Ubuntu Pro expands security maintenance to over 30,000 packages for 10 years and provides optional, enterprise-grade phone and ticket support by Canonical.

This alternative matches the form of a later sentence on the page

Ubuntu Pro offers a single, per-node packaging of the most comprehensive software, hardening and security in the industry.
