Due to the way releases of Ubuntu will be reaching End of Life (Ubuntu 13.04 becomes EOL before Ubuntu 12.10) we need to create an upgrade path for users of 12.10. It has been decided that we will have them upgrade from 12.10 to 13.10, because 14.04 doesn't come out until April 2014 the same time that Ubuntu 13.04 become EOL.

For this upgrade to be possible two changes will need to occur. In the 12.10 version of update-manager the code will need to be changed so that an upgrade from Quantal to Saucy is possible. This will be staged in -proposed for testing and when Raring becomes EOL it will be released to -updates.

In addition to the above change, the saucy version of the release upgrader will be need to be modified to allow upgrades from Quantal to Saucy. This can be done by creating a new DistUpgrade.cfg file named DistUpgrade.cfg.quantal which will have changes relevant to the upgrade from Quantal to Saucy.
