Bug Description

Beginning September 25 3pm UTC, it appears the getDevelopmentSeries function cannot find a development release:

>>> from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad
>>> LP = Launchpad.login_anonymously('what_is_devel', 'production', version='devel')
>>> ubuntu = LP.distributions['ubuntu']
>>> devel = ubuntu.getDevelopmentSeries()
>>> len(devel)
0

I expected to see a result of length 1, which had a link to Artful.

https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/devel.html#distro_series says the status can be:

 One of:

    Experimental
    Active Development
    Pre-release Freeze
    Current Stable Release
    Supported
    Obsolete
    Future

I guess artful is now in Pre-release Freeze now, and so getDevelopmentSeries doesn't actually do what we want? I guess we need to enumerate all series instead and find ones that are either in Active Development or Pre-release Freeze.

"Return the DistroSeries which are marked as in development."

Perhaps this needs to make it clear that "Pre-release Freeze" isn't "in development" for the purposes of this method.

Answer from LP team: use distro.current_series instead. Leaving the bug open for Launchpad API cleanup.
