Well, I think so. If doing a 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' says 
no packages were installed, that is fully patched, right?

I can update to yakkety via "update-manager" but I am blind and some 
parts of it do not work with the screen reader.  I am sure the people on 
this list understand how someone might perfer a command line tool anyway.

I think the ubuntu documentation is unclear on what a development 
release is. There is ubuntu 16.04.1 and then there is 16.10. Is either 
of those a development release? What is the proper name for a release 
like 16.10 which is not LTS?
