Perhaps then we should stop recommending devel for those wishing to 
"track the latest development" on developer.ubunutu.com [1]?  Although 
devel hasn't been updated in four months, so maybe that's supposed to 
be self-evident.

Neither stable or rc have images for manta or flo.  Should we be on 
rc-proposed, or would it be better to stay on the (stale) devel channel?

When I asked four months ago about flo, I was specifically told to use 
devel.  Was that wrong at the time, or did things change?  Was there an 
announcement of the change?  If this is such a concern, the 
documentation [1] really ought to be updated.
