As I understand it, it's a combination of wanting to have time to fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-menus/+bug/1766890 first, and people not tending to test upgrades very much until we've released so allowing a few days before opening the floodgates wider gives us more time to fix a few more problems. > Anything to do with the last minute bug that was found (and fixed) on release > day?

[ubuntu-uk] 18.04 on line updates not available yet
Just curious, but I note from the Bionic release notes, that upgrades from 17.10 to 18.04 will not be enabled until a few days after release. Does anyone know the reason behind this? Anything to do with the last minute bug that was found (and fixed) on release day? As far as I can remember online updates have always been available on the day of release? As I said, I'm curious. I'm quite happy to wait until it's available, and, yes, I know about the -d option on do-release-upgrade.
