** Description changed:

  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.
  
+ As a side note, maybe with even a different bug report, this also
+ affects what new software I can install. As an example, I cannot find
+ the steam client listed for installation, when it appears without
+ problems in a computer with ubuntu precise.
