Before going down into particular cases, I would like to point that every ROS Release supports only a few subset of the Ubuntu distributions (see REP3 http://www.ros.org/reps/rep-0003.html#platforms-by-distribution).

This makes some upgrades technically not possible since there could not be packages in the ROS repositories available for the new distribution in an upgrade process. For example, there is no a single ROS Release that support 14.04 and 16.04. I can not see a safe/straightforward upgrade path.

If this is not the case, from Open Robotics we are happy help if something can be done in ROS packages or repositories.
