A couple of points, 8.04 is specifically a LTS (long term support) release and 
as such would not auto update to another less than LTS release.  Check 
Ubuntu's release plans.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubuntu_releases

AND, ...fresh install is way too much a windoze thing.  Ubuntu is designed to 
be easy, stable, and intuitive to use, not to constantly have to re-install 
as the standard windoze blanket fix for everything.
