At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 15.10. The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 15.10 is via Ubuntu 16.04. Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XenialUpgrades Ubuntu 16.04 continues to be actively supported with security updates and select high-impact bug fixes.
