I'll pipe in here:

I, personally, would like to stay current with Ubuntu's LTS servers.
[I've got a number of AD servers on 12.04]

Now, I know that 14.04 is brand new and those of us without masochistic
tendencies would probably be advised to wait for other poor souls to
crucify themselves hanging out on the bleeding edge - but you know
_someone_ has got to be the first sucker over the edge sometime. :)

I think the general question is: has anyone been over the cliff? Is
the water fine, or did the piranha's strip all the flesh off the poor
soul?

:)
