Stable releases have frozen release suite (e.g. "xenial") and all
package changes land in pocket suites - "xenial-updates", "xenial-
security".

During development of a series, the pocket suites are not in use, and
the release suite e.g. "artful" today is the one where all the changes
land.

Not upgrading people in devel suite, creates a limbo state where people
are stuck on a snapshot of a devel release which is not supported at
all. And get a massive dist-upgrade on release date, when it's no longer
a dev-series. Also, how would one get the update to unmark oneself to no
longer be a dev-series, if u-a is not doing anything?

I think we need to revert this change, and mark it as won't fix. There
is no security support for devel series, and pretending that we install
security only updates on devel series is silly.
