I wonder why xenial should have support issues, being the LTS-version.

Mint also has updates, so I do not see the point switching to somewhere  
else. The main problem here is imho that ubuntugis-unstable and the qgis  
repositories are very often out of sync. But a QGIS without all the bells  
and whistles from ubuntugis is quite useless for me.
