Mint always supported upgrades between LTS releases. There were 
no upgrades between non-LTS releases, which were basically just 
bit-more-stable betas. That's changed now as posted above, Mint 
14.04 to 15.10 (and possibly longer) will be seamlessly 
upgradable release to release as Mint gradually diverges away 
from its Ubuntu base. 16.04 may be a reset, or they may continue 
to diverge further, or they may move fully to Debian; but they'll 
probably still have an upgrade path as it will be an LTS.
