well, there are people that try to evaluate snappy for their IoT or
embedded products, with 15.04 going out of business soon it doesn't
really make sense to point them to the old stuff, but we also do not
provide any new image either.

i understand that on the snap userspace side we are API stable, what is
there works and we will only see missing features come back (classic
mode, config interface etc). in that light i think it might make sense
to give people some images to work with even if we tell them gadget and
kernel might change and they need to re-flash ... 

imho we should release something based on 16 with the disclaimer that
the images themselves will still see some massive change but that you
have something to try your snaps on in a real world environment.
