@Brian Murray: Thank you for pointing us to the exiosting bug report! Also, I understand your judgement, but I would like to comment on it. While it might be a bad idea to suggest to users they should select an upgrade path that may land them in a release that is not well supported or deemed insecure , it is my humble opinion that there should at least be an override switch for those that "know what they are doing"™ as is the way for Linux/Unix.
Implementing this with a big fat warning should not take a lot of effort. Simply a switch "do-release-upgrade --override 14.10" with a message "WARNING: THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED: <lots of good reasons> Would you like to continue? [y/N]".
