Comment 5 for bug 1875522

The release notes have been fixed to document the need for -d until the point release.

I categorically disagree that we should message an LTS-to-LTS upgrade, prior to the first point release, as anything other than "development". During each LTS cycle, we are routinely fixing critical upgrade bugs up until the point release, and no one who is not prepared to deal with those on the same level as a user installing or upgrading to a beta release of Ubuntu should be doing that LTS upgrade at that time.

That is already the case. This bug only affects LTS-to-LTS upgrades.

I'm closing this bug as Opinion, as I don't see that there is any clear path to addressing the request while satisfying the constraint that we don't want casual users who are not prepared to deal with critical upgrade bugs without overwhelming our support capacity to be doing LTS-LTS upgrades before .1.
