Bug Description

Why does wily (Ubuntu 15.10) already have -proposed pocket at this moment, e.g. latest Firefox 39 is in wily-proposed while wily still has Firefox 38 and trusty, utopic and vivid -updates pocket already has Firefox 39. I would expect Firefox 39 to be in wily directly instead of wily-proposed since wily is still in development and doesn't need StableReleaseUpdates yet. Shouldn't the -proposed pocket be activated on FeatureFreeze (more than a month from now) in the wily release schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseSchedule?

-proposed does not equal SRU. It is a staging pocket.
