i'm not sure who ever seeded that framework on the 15.04 images but due
to the gcc5/C++ transition in wily this can not work ... (at least for
any C++ code)

to *actually* have a 15.10 framework on the phone that allows you to
exec any compiled code on 15.04 you would have to duplicate all
framework dependencies and libs to allow actual execution of natively
compiled code ... assuming the framework libs make up 20-25% of the
total image size i doubt it would be possible to seed them at all (our
compressed image size is limited by the size of the cache partition).

the 15.10 framework should be removed from the devices given that it
falsely suggests you would be able to run any 15.10 compiled code on a
15.04 device.
