Re: Understanding Wily and the 15.10 framework

 

hey Zoltan - when running  `click framework lists` i see that all the 15.10
ones are postponed with "dev1". Does that mean that these aren't really
official or experimental or something ? like is there a particular policy
if someone starts to use these on vivid+overlay ?
