Sure, but that's a very different situation. If someone upgraded from 14.04.3 to 14.04.4, they definitely wouldn't expect it to break working code. If it did, it would be a pretty serious regression. Upgrading to LTS maintenance releases should be a no-brainer. Upgrading from one LTS to a newer one, you *know* things are going to change, so you'll review the release notes and do some very careful analysis of your mission critical code. Cheers, -Barry
