> Could you explain why you think -proposed should be disabled...

That's only a suggested resolution that'd I'd be happy with.

The core issue I'm reporting is that I previously had artful-proposed
enabled but pinned low priority such that I didn't have most packages in
artful-proposed installed - only the ones I had cherry-picked to test.
After I upgraded to Bionic, I ended up with everything in bionic-
proposed installed. For me, that's a regression because I went from
(stable + a few selected untested) to (everything* untested).

The best resolution for me would be for ubuntu-release-upgrader to
detect and update my pin to Bionic. But I don't expect it to be able to
do that, so I think always disabling proposed would be sufficient.

There's a old thread on ubuntu-release@ that discussed having -proposed
enabled after release. The most relevant post I can find on this is
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
release/2016-October/003950.html. In general, at least at the moment,
it's considered a bad idea. Note that I had Artful _pinned low_ in
proposed before upgrade. Since that pin stopped acting after upgrade to
Bionic, I ended up in the situation this thread considers bad.

I think disabling proposed would be better than this. I didn't know
about bug 1199157 before, but I guess what I'm saying is that we should
_also_ disable proposed on stable upgrades (therefore always disable it
regardless of target).

There's also talk of always pinning -proposed for users, which would
also resolve this issue: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
release/2016-October/003954.html
