As a user and developer, I just hit this situation and expected -d to mean
devel because that's what the manpage of do-release-upgrade says.
It would be ideal to:
* Not nag the 18.04 users to update to 20.04 until 20.04.1 release is out (this
is the current behavior)
* Allow users on 18.04 (or
The release notes have been fixed to document the need for -d until the
point release.
I categorically disagree that we should message an LTS-to-LTS upgrade,
prior to the first point release, as anything other than "development".
During each LTS cycle, we are routinely fixing critical upgrade

Just to interject, people rightfully believe do-release-upgrade (without
-d) will upgrade them to Focal, because that's what the Release Notes
say.

IMHO, It's either released or it's not. I like @wxl
I agree with the idea that the machinery should offer a new release only
when we really consider it stable, which we define as having a point
release. In other words, if a user does nothing and they're on 18.04,
they don't get nagged to upgrade until 20.04.1.
On the other hand, I think that when

is set to 0 then everyone is prompted to upgrade. We don't set it to
