It's because the smoke testing hasn't been passing, for example see the
(quite cryptic) output on

  https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/wily/view/Smoke%20Testing/job/wily-desktop-amd64-smoke-default/78/consoleFull

...which we will look at fixing soon-ish (we've already started checking
on it). With the usual YMMV caveats of running an early stage release,
you could try an image from

  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/pending/

and see how you get on. I don't know of any bugs that would prevent you
from giving it a go, but obviously I'm not exactly sure yet why it
failed. I personally risked it an installed a pending image two weeks
ago and I'm still here. :)

Cheers,
