[DESKTOP] Is KDE neon married to Ubuntu 16.04?

[Tahaan]

Or will KDE neon be rebased off of 16.10 at some point?

[acheron]

It will remain 16.04 until the next Ubuntu LTS

So no 16.10, or 17.04, or 17.10 for Neon.

Will there be a version using non LTS Ubuntu releases?

No, we plan only to base on the latest LTS version of Ubuntu, this comes with Linux and graphics stack updates to keep drivers relevant. We will backport other software as needed.
