Why does Ubuntu 12.10 update to 13.04 on its own?

Question

I installed Ubuntu 12.10, after few minutes of working I've got an Update and allowed it.

After this I see that Ubuntu has been upgraded to 13.04. Why?

I am not a developer, just try to work.

In Software sources in one of tabs there is an extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu repo. Is this responsible for updates to 13.04? If I disable those will the problem be gone?

Are you sure you downloaded the right ISO file? Did you get your download from http://www.ubuntu.com/download ? — Gladen, Mar 03 '13 at 18:25
It doesn't. If you think it has, you will have to be more specific about why. — psusi, Mar 03 '13 at 18:25

If the information there doesn't reveal the source of this problem, then it's a bug and should be reported as such. See also How do I report a bug? (At least once before, information from a newer release's help was wrongly synced into an older release's help. It affected many users. It was reported as a bug, then fixed.) — Eliah Kagan, Apr 13 '13 at 05:55
@EliahKagan Thanks for Your respond :) now I know this happed when I was making Nautilus 3.6 by:
"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3" — alienowo, Apr 14 '13 at 09:03

i don't think that its automatic update as 13.04 on beta

Because the ubuntu 13.04 is still on beta test , so it's not offcial released if you want to update to ubuntu 13.04 beta

open terminal , and type this ( this is the easiest way )

sudo do-release-upgrade -d

any way its not bad to test beta as on 27 april its offcial released and u can update it
