Marlon:

I have not yet had occasion to install 16.04.1 yet, so I would not have 
encountered it.

It was not a problem when I installed 16.04 (the original release), and 
continued updates have not eliminated CUPS.  Also, upgrading from 14.04 
to 16.04.1 hasn't eliminated CUPS, but I would assume it would keep 
software already installed, except for what is classified as obsolete, 
or no longer needed.

Thanks for letting me know of your experience.  I will keep that in mind 
if I have occasion to do a clean install of 16.04.1.
