I am dismayed to see that juju 1.17.0 was put into trusty. We know it
is not backward compatible. Since the juju stable PPA only contains
backports from trusty, there is no juju stable package for me to
install through an archive.

A sad day for me to respond to a production-level issue with
production/stable jujus.

I am happy to run trusty and test the new packaging of stable
software. Juju 1.17.0 is not stable, it is not compatible with 1.16.x,
and was not given a choice, nor informed that I could be risking
someone's assets. I don't think ubuntu devel series should be getting
devel juju, at least not until we have full devel to stable
compatibility testing.

If we put juju into trusty because everyone on trusty myst test juju,
then we need to offer out testers an obvious and safe path to remain
stable, I don't think pinning juju packages is obvious or right
because I do want stable packages. We can offer stable and unstable
versions in trusty.

For the time being, I am going to create a stable trusty juju and
place it in the stable ppa so that some people have a choice to
respond to production situations.
