Thanks, Michael. I've made some proofreading-type edits; it seems OK to
me now, at least as a starting point.

EOL needs to be handled
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: update-manager
Users can come into possession of a computer on which is installed a
version of Ubuntu that is no longer supported. In cases where the next
version of Ubuntu is supported, the user may upgrade to a supported
version.

happy with this it should move to

mvo cjwatson: yes, the page is missing, a bit more testing and then it should
be done.

I added code in natty now that will automatically detect if the release
is EOL and write it to motd (for servers) and popup a window that
contains upgrade instructions plus a (brief) explaination that the
current release is EOL. Its similar to the screenshot of u-m running on
a EOL system and we

The actual bug here (upgrade from old-releases.ubuntu.com to old-
releases.ubuntu.com) works, but we still need to do better when it comes
to explaining the user what unsupported means and what options the user
has.
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu Natty)
Status: New = Confirmed
**
As a first step we should make sure that users on a unsupported release
do not upgrade to a unsupported release without knowing about it). This
can happen now on intrepid to jaunty.
As a first (and important step) we should create a file like
the following:
The next task is to ensure that once the distro becomes EOL there is
information on this e.g. via auto popup of update-managerr or the new
/usr/lib/update-manager/check-new-release-gtk window with a proper page
explaining what is going on.
