Question about Raspberry Pi 2 Ubuntu MATE level of support

Will the Raspberry Pi 2 port of Ubuntu MATE receive security updates at parity with the mainstream Ubuntu versions? Will 16.04 LTS be released at the same time as the mainstream versions? I tried Google, but I couldn’t find an explicit statement answering this question.

I ask because I’m considering moving from Raspbian to either Ubuntu MATE or CentOS 7 as I am unhappy with the lack of timely security updates.

Yes, except for the kernel which you have to update via rpi-update.
