Update Manager message "New Hardware Support is Available"

It's simple, really. Ubuntu 14.04 is now out, so what the Ubuntu developers did was make an update that makes Ubuntu 12.04 compatible with all of the same hardware Ubuntu 14.04 is compatible with in the form of an update. This makes Ubuntu 12.04 work with more computers, but if you're already running Ubuntu 12.04 just fine and all of your hardware is working properly, then this update probably won't do anything beneficial to you. I still strongly recommend that you install it anyway, even if all of your hardware is working right.


OK, I bit on it and clicked install. It then gave the desired info via a link to this web page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL


It looks mandatory to me since the link (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL) said:

Starting Aug 8, 2014 systems running 12.04.2 HWE, 12.04.3 HWE, or 12.04.4 HWE will no longer receive software updates for the kernel and, if you're running it, the graphics stack.

So there will be no more update for those who are running old HWE stacks (e.g. fresh install from 12.04.x ISO)...

I think the Update Manager should give us more info besides that simple "Install" button hanging over there.
