Good morning,

The thing I would like to see added is:

-Option <active release>

Where active release could be the release wanted. This would allow a 
user to specify the release desired. Currently active are (I believe) 
19.10 and 20.04 LTS. I am currently at 18.04, I would not want to go to 
19.10 but to 20. 04 LTS.

Just my $0.02USD.

Jay
