+1 from me on this at long last. I'd like to get this implemented ASAP (14.04.2 is due in a few hours). I see no reason to not implement this. Streamlining our process and making standard operating procedures are required for the fluid nature of our teams.
I'll send a separate email to Comms to answer these questions for 14.04.2. Perhaps it would be good to have https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VERSION/ReleaseAnnouncement/Lubuntu ??? We will have LTS and non-LTS versions at the same time so we need to be specific about the version. P.S. I love the mention of specific dates, especially ones that match the release schedule. We should implement this at [PrePostReleaseTODO][], too.
