Does it have to do a set number of Progress launches successfully before it starts being used for Soyuz?

BTW, will now all Progress go on Soyuz-2 or had they interleaved a few just to make sure?

According to the russian launch schedule, there are still Progress launches planned on Soyuz-U in 2015, with total change to Soyuz 2-1a in 2016.

I thought all Progress payloads would be on Soyuz-2, as there were no Us remaining now.
