The code being removed literally says "if trusty is the current LTS, that's a lie, it's xenial" -- that situation will not reoccur for at least 26 years, and requires that we be silly enough to reuse both "trusty" and "xenial"....

If we want to keep the code, it should probably turn into something that says "use the current devel release if it's LTS" -- that would need a prod vs dev switch, but is very doable. (the new release gets added to distro-info shortly after it opens, and we'd just need to see that devel opened and that it's an LTS.)
