Thanks for the clarification.
Rebasing all stable phones on an half developed Ubuntu release seems
quite scary from the outside.

RTM was branched just a month before 14.10, so it was after feature
freeze and during the bug fixing stage.
This probably won't be the case with a 16.01 or 16.02 base.

I hope this turns out well, I trust you all know what you are doing :-)
