Now that we have an LTS out with NotAutomatic: yes, I wonder if it would
be worth looking to add the proposed pocket in apt sources by default
everywhere in future releases, like we do for backports[1].
Upside: it would make for even simpler instructions for users to test
something from proposed.
Downside: users would have yet more downloading on "apt update",
although perhaps we should expect the proposed lists to be small?
Often I see apt-get update downloads exceeding 100 MiB. That is without
a single package download.
When working with a mobile connection this is already problematic. We
should strive to get this number down. Adding proposed is going into the
wrong direction and would only help a tiny fraction of all users.

To be clear, I'm on the fence, and polling for opinions.

worth reviewing them for consistent behaviour.
