Well. Why people would use *that* ubuntu version is not clear to me. It's *loooooong* out of support.
You're in the IT dept of a large corporation. You have some critical application running on some old Dell server with Ubuntu 16.04.
I was specifically referring to the "16.10" listed above, i.e. running critical stuff on non-LTS distros in the first place.
16.04-LTS is a much better choice, and that there are plenty of things which can happen in real life which can delay or even prevent moving applications to a newer LTS version is pretty clear.
take care, Gerd
