There's different risk levels for different people. I understand the
people who want to upgrade to the new LTS during release week but who want
to make sure they aren't accidentally jumping onto the -devel release.

Please do give some curl | awk command that would let people know if
do-release-upgrade -d will move them to the newest release or if it
will move them to the devel release.

I still think we'd be better served by -d meaning devel and nothing else,
and lettinng people who know enough to run the command upgrade without
the fear of upgrading too far.

Thanks
