Oopsy - below I said the 14.04.2, 14.04.3, and 14.04.4 HWE stacks would
reach HWE EOL in August 2017. That should have said August 2016!!!!!!
Sorry for the goof up.

Hi lads,
I'm not exactly sure how should I proceed if I'm on 14.04.2 and want
to upgrade to .3. Will the update be available via the update
manager, or is it recommended to rather do a quick re-install of /?
No need to reinstall, that would rather defeat the purpose of an LTS
wouldn't it? Trusty automatically moves from 14.04 to 14.04.1 to
14.04.2 to 14.04.3, etc, etc .........
Trusty will however remain on the kernel series and matching X-stack
version that were provided with the specific installation media until
the HWE stacks provided with 14.04.2, 14.04.3, and 14.04.4 reach EOL
some time in August 2017 at which point the update-manager will begin
to warn that the user is approaching HWE EOL and it will offer the
upgrade to the 14.04.5 HWE stack.
If a user installed using either the 14.04 or 14.04.1 media they'll
remain on the OE HWE (3.13 series kernel) and not have to deal with
HWE EOL at all. One reason we didn't go out of our way recommending
that most users install using 14.04.1 media is that until 14.04.2
ubiquity had a very nasty bug that frequently resulted in data loss
during reinstallations.

Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in. We call it
the /Ice Cream Principle/. Tell 10 people to go get ice cream with
one condition: they all have to agree on one flavour. That flavour is
going to be chocolate or vanilla every time. Groups of people don't
agree on what's cool or interesting, they agree on what's easy to
agree on.
