The only reason I'd do so currently (or when the .1 release is out) is
to test for issues before moving production systems to it.
So far, on my 14.04 test machines, I've had minimal issues. One odd
issue that seems Debian originated (overlayroot) and very little broken
so far. That is on, now, five test systems. I have production systems
that I'll only consider upgrading after I'm *really* sure they'll remain
fully stable.
But, I'm also not one to wait until the very last day of EOL for the
older version.

Oops, correction, four systems. The fifth threw a HD badly. Total
failure, dreaded clank-clank failure. When I get a replacement HD, it'll
go on 14.04 and continue as a test system.
