Public bug reported:
A long time ago, around the times of Ubuntu 11.04, I realised that this
settings exists in Update Manager: "Notify me of a new ubuntu version", whose
default value "For long-term support versions" was preventing me from being
notified of new non-LTS versions. So I CHANGED IT and I set it to "For any new
version".
It worked (I got upgrades for 11.04, 11.10 and 12.04) and I never touched it
again.
Now I had been waiting for a few weeks for the new 12.10 version to
appear as an option to upgrade, and was wondering how long it would
take, until I decided to have a look to that setting, and I found out it
had been changed back to "For long-term-support versions".
I guess it got changed when I upgraded to 12.04 which IIRC is a LTS
version. This should never be changed automatically without prompting
the user.
