The goal was to provide some updates more quickly than the standart
process. It gave us the time to push them to official repositories.
For example, lxsession had 5 bugs candidate for SRU. But to push them,
we need to fix one, push it to -proposed, wait for the SRU
verification ... and when it's finished, go to the second bug etc ...
I still have some in my TODO list ...

Also, I pushed some stuff like updates for the artwork, which is very
difficult to push in -updates (it's not critical ...).

The goal was not to replace the usual updates, but to gave us some
time to make them properly. Note that this news is 6 months old, and
those updates only concern the LTS (not 14.10, not 15.04 etc ...).
