+Ubuntu Best Effort Support: Non-LTS releases 
+
+This script provides best-effort support for current, non-LTS 
+Ubuntu releases. If package repositories are not provided on 
+[repo.saltstack.com](http://repo.saltstack.com/#ubuntu) for 
+the non-LTS release, the bootstrap script will attempt to 
+install the packages for the most closely related LTS Ubuntu
+release instead. 
+
+For example, when installing Salt on Ubuntu 16.10, the bootstrap
+script will setup the repository for Ubuntu 16.04 from 
+[repo.saltstack.com](http://repo.saltstack.com/#ubuntu) and 
+install the 16.04 packages.
