closedinvestigate LTS Enablement stack

Description
Ubuntu provides a so-called LTS Enablement stack. We should have a look at it to decide whether it's helpful for us or not. Details are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack

On my private server, I installed the new LTS enablement stack with:
dpkg -l "*lts*" | grep ii | awk {'print $2'} | sed s/raring/saucy/g | tr '\n' ' ' | sudo xargs apt-get -y install
(note the -y, which starts immediately without further confirmation, so better double check!)
Afterwards, to remove the older LTS enablement stack, this can help:dpkg -l "*lts*" | grep ii | grep raring | awk {'print $2'} | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs dpkg --purge
(likewise, starts without confirmation!)

I was brave and tried on pumbaa, where no LTS enablement stack was installed at all. This did the trick:
apt-get install linux-generic-lts-saucy linux-generic-lts-saucy-eol-upgrade linux-headers-generic-lts-saucy linux-image-generic-lts-saucy

- Priority changed from Normal to High
Due to security upgrades not provided for older enablement stacks anymore, it is advisable to move to the newest one, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1204_HWE_EOL
On my private server, that did the trick:
dpkg -l "*lts*" | grep -v "eol-upgrade" | grep ii | awk {'print $2'} | sed s/saucy/trusty/g | tr '\n' ' ' | sudo xargs apt-get -y install
After reboot, do:
dpkg -l "*lts*" | grep ii | grep saucy | awk {'print $2'} | tr '\n' ' ' | xargs dpkg --purge
I also did so on pumbaa already, but not on the other machines. Alex, your take now :)
