[Bug 1892915] Re: gnome-shell crashing (libffi8ubuntu1 upgrade issue)

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

@satmandu

Thank you for pointing that documentation out.

It is correct that it is helpful to test Proposed, but I think that
information was written when packages in proposed were only published
for stable series, which only contain prospective Stable Release
Updates, and is the way "for testing updates".

That is not true for devel series. In devel series, -proposed is not for
human consumption. Instead simply running devel series, release pocket
is already testing and providing feedback from such config is useful.

I'm not sure how we can update that testing page to be more informative.
