Public bug reported:
Hello, I'd like to suggest that the do-release-upgrade -d command line
parameter should behave differently than it does.
At the moment, we aren't promoting focal upgrades to our existing bionic
and eoan users. This makes sense.
However, we have many enthusiast users who would like to upgrade, and
would probably be a good position to help us find and fix bugs in the
upgrade process.
These enthusiasts are rightly concerned that do-release-upgrade -d will
upgrade them to gorilla. They're also wondering if 20.04 is actually
released, etc.
The conversations around this point on irc are endless and often.
So: I'd like to propose that -d is used to upgrade to the devel release.
And in the weeks or months before we change the meta-release files to
encourage upgrades to the next release, we allow people to upgrade to
the next release without resorting to scary-sounding command line
options.
Thanks
