Title: Activating -proposed should need a confirmation with a proper warning Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in software-properties source package in Xenial: Triaged Bug description: The GUI is mainly intended for use by normal users. Using the proposed repository may cause problems and is therefore not recommended for the broad mayority of users. The normal user should not be able to activate this repository by just a single click. We need a proper warning, explaining what -proposed is, requiring confirmation by the user. For example: "Proposed is intended for people willing to test updates before the reach a wider audience. Are you sure you want to activate -proposed?" <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings>: "The “When checking for updates, check for:” menu should contain options for “All updates” (the default, -security + -updates + -backports), “Security and recommended updates” (-security + -updates), and “Security updates only” (-security) (fixing bug 887079). If your current update config does not match one of those three options (for example, if you have opted in to -proposed), there should be a fourth, checked, option: “Custom”, and this option should persist until you close System Settings. (UI for configuring -proposed should be provided by the Ubuntu Contributor Console.)"
