I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and saw that it showed Ubuntu 13.10 while installing. I could confirm I installed Ubuntu 14.04 when I did this on a terminal:

lsb_release -a

and got this as output:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 (Developement release)
Release:    14.04
Codename:   trusty

So are the development versions directly cloned from the previous stable releases? If yes, doesn't a radical change like the change to Mir from Xorg be difficult to implement since the underlying platform itself change?

P.S.: I am not sure whether this should be on AO, as this is a question on development release but then such questions have no scope to be asked anywhere else.

The development versions are daily built and they're different from stable releases.
Currently, Ubuntu 14.04 hasn't come to UI freezing stage, so the 'Ubuntu 10.10' thing lurks around.

see Ubuntu 14.04 Release Schedule for more details about Ubuntu's release management procedures.
