What makes you >> think you need to wait until 16.04.01? I'm with Martin here, why bother waiting for a point release? Don't be too cautious - I upgrade non-rolling releases from one version to the next usually the moment they come out. Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, Slack, whatever: make sure you're backed up, change your download sources as appropriate and hit go. 99% of the time it works perfectly. For many years I ran my own mail server at home and it iterated through every version of Fedora Core from 1 to 12, upgraded every 6 months like clockwork. Saying that, I can understand being a bit recalcitrant with your only/main computer to be fair. I stopped messing with my main workstation at Ubuntu 14.04 and it's still stuck there until I get time to do a 16.04 install, and that's going to have to be a painstaking fresh install and migration of data. After over two years of the sort of punishment I give it this system is hanging on for dear life now...
