Brian: I suppose reasonable people can disagree on what is best here. I was not really harmed by my lack of understanding about the delay. As I said, both upgrade methods went as well as could be expected, which is a testament to the hard work of the Ubuntu and Lubuntu developer teams.
I sometimes forget that the world moves on "internet time" now, which is even faster than the "24-hour news cycle" introduced a couple of decades ago by CNN. Even I lacked the patience to sit and read the announcement in detail before I acted.
