Hmm, very odd... I also noticed this was a bit awkward, so had changed it
to:

  Because Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is a long-term support release, users of that
  release will not be offered an automatic upgrade to 8.10 via Update
  Manager.

... but the wiki says that I then reverted this change.

I've restored it now - do you think that text is adequate?
