Bug Description
I have been bitten by _not_ knowing that selecting "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version: For long-term support versions" in a non-LTS(17.10) software-
Please mask or hide the option to select "For long-term support versions" if the currently running version is a non-LTS version(grep or awk the /etc/os-release file or some-such for the LTS string).
It is non-intuitive to see this option as available to select and not receive warning of its hazards.
