Public bug reported: I have some purchased software that I am not able to install due to Ubuntu Software Center considering that the development release (saucy as I'm writing this), is not supported.
This means that advanced users that want to have saucy installed will not be able to access that purchased software anymore. With the incoming plans for the development release to be a "rolling release", this would mean that I'd not be able to access that software unless I go back to an "stable" release. Given that the development release is considered of use by not the regular users, but advanced ones that want to have the latest software, I would consider the "release check" in the software center to not be done in any case when in the latest development release.
