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 a user *requests* a release, either through `do-release-upgrade` or through the GUI, it would make a lot more sense to provide the most recent *available* release for the track (normal v. lts) they're on. In other words, if they're on 18.04 or 19.10 and they look for a new release, they should get 20.04, even if 20.04.1 isn't out yet. To do anything different is like saying there's no new release and with all the news saying the new release is out, this is really confusing and makes for a lot of annoying support requests. Going back to my original note, I think that for folks on the normal track, they should get nagged to upgrade before the point release. They're already not looking for LTS capability, so why should we try to provide it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875522 Title: suggest removing -d requirement to upgrade to new releases To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1875522/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
