Trusty verification using the ubuntu-advantage-tools package from trusty-proposed:

a) enabling esm
Installation works, but enabling esm is not a good experience:
"""
$ sudo ubuntu-advantage enable-esm <redacted>
Running apt-get update...
W: Failed to fetch https://esm.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages HttpError404

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
$ echo $?

"""

Since there is no ESM for non-precise Ubuntu releases, it fails correctly with a 404 error. Is that acceptable?

b) MOTD
There is no mention of ESM, precise, or looming end-of-life in the MOTD when logging in, so that's good.
