the phones (and tablets) actually use a rolling release model, the system 
image gets updated every 6 weeks on a fixed schedule and is still based on 
15.04 (not the LTS) using a separate archive into which important bits get 
backported from newer releases.

if the system is indeed only for toying around and security (and thus 
upgrading) does not matter for you, this is a moot point :)

(note though thaat upgrading using apt will not work either, the system is 
designed for image based upgrades only, an apt based upgrade will 
eventually fail if it hits a package that is bound to this setup)
