The Ubuntu 14.04 images can apparently be found on http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/trusty/current/

+Alexandros +Faidon who both have an interest somehow in having 14.04 images in labs. Could be used for HHVM and puppet 3 migration testing.

Apparently Andrew Boggot (ops) did some work on this. Labs now has an image type labeled 'ubuntu-14.04-trusty (testing)'.

Seems to be a good first step. We probably don't want to base any serious work on this image though.

Andrew has announced the availability of an Ubuntu Trusty in images in labs a few days ago. That solve this bug. Thank you Andrew!
