There's different risk levels for different people. I understand the people who want to upgrade to the new LTS during release week but who want to make sure they aren't accidentally jumping onto the -devel release. > I do think the release notes could be better about explaining why the > '-d' switch needs to be used for a short period of time after release > though. Please do give some curl | awk command that would let people know if do-release-upgrade -d will move them to the newest release or if it will move them to the devel release. I still think we'd be better served by -d meaning devel and nothing else, and lettinng people who know enough to run the command upgrade without the fear of upgrading too far.
