In case anyone is thinking of doing the same.

Took the plunge this morning and did an in place upgrade of Mythbuntu 14.04.1 
to 16.04.1.

The install went smoothly and currently recording a random program to make 
sure the tuners loaded OK. Seems fine.

Things that didn't work:
1. Mythweb didn't work off the bat - had to install the php-db package to make 
it work. Once I had figured out that it seems to be OK.
2. Plexmediaserver worked fine but plexWatch web interface didn't. You need to 
install the packages php-sqlite3 and php7.0-sqlite3 and then that seems to be 
OK.
3. KODI - THIS DOESN'T WORK. You can't install without removing your entire 
mythtv install... 

Kodi requires libtag1v5 while mythtv requires libtag1c2a. If you try to 
install libtag1v5 then you are asked to remove all the following packages:

libmyth-0.28-0 libtag1-vanilla libtag1c2a mytharchive mythbrowser mythbuntu-
bare-client  mythbuntu-desktop mythgallery mythmusic mythnetvision mythnews 
mythtv mythtv-backend  mythtv-backend-master mythtv-common mythtv-database 
mythtv-dbg mythtv-frontend mythtv-theme-mythbuntu mythtv-transcode-utils 
mythweather mythweb

Haven't yet found a work around for this yet.
