I enabled silent updates for all my repositories and wondering if this would also automatically silently upgrade my Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu 12.04 when the upgrade is available in April?

I don't think it will automatically update, however you can be notified about any new Ubuntu versions (which I think is what happens by default):
Go to > System Settings > Software Sources > Updates
Near the bottom it says "Notify me of a new Ubuntu Version", and you have 3 options:
- Never
- For long-term support versions
- For any new version
-
BullfrogBlues is right. It will never do a
do-release-upgrade
to another release. The automatic upgrades will only keep your packages up-to-date in the current release scope.– bkzlandDec 19, 2011 at 14:49
