Sorry for the goof up.

Will the update be available via the update manager, or is it recommended to rather do a quick re-install of /?No need to reinstall, that would rather defeat the purpose of an LTS wouldn't it? Trusty automatically moves from 14.04 to 14.04.1 to 14.04.2 to 14.04.3, etc, etc ......... Trusty will however remain on the kernel series and matching X-stack version that were provided with the specific installation media until the HWE stacks provided with 14.04.2, 14.04.3, and 14.04.4 reach EOL some time in August 2017 at which point the update-manager will begin to warn that the user is approaching HWE EOL and it will offer the upgrade to the 14.04.5 HWE stack. If a user installed using either the 14.04 or 14.04.1 media they'll remain on the OE HWE (3.13 series kernel) and not have to deal with HWE EOL at all. One reason we didn't go out of our way recommending that most users install using 14.04.1 media is that until 14.04.2 ubiquity had a very nasty bug that frequently resulted in data loss during reinstallations.

Probably best for Ali to weigh in on this since he's done the lions share of Wiki work for the team.
Remember I made a boo-boo about dates (which is a bad thing) so it's best to rely on facts:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2BAC8-Support.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_SupportAlso I couldn't for the life of me remember the package name responsible for displaying OS version but it's 'base-files'. The most recent Trusty changelog is self explanatory:
base-files (7.2ubuntu5.3) trusty; urgency=medium
* /etc/issue, /etc/issue.net, /etc/lsb-release, /etc/os-release: Bump
version number to 14.04.3 in preparation for the point release.

Can't think of anything else to add at the moment.
