manage_sru script can't handle un-recognized kernel

There is a list in the script:
RELEASES = {'2.6': 'lucid',
            '3.2': 'precise',
            '3.13': 'trusty',
            '3.16': 'utopic',
            '3.19': 'vivid',
            '3.13lts': 'precise',
            '3.16lts': 'trusty',
            '3.19lts': 'trusty',
            '4.2lts': 'trusty',
            '4.4lts': 'trusty',
            '4.2': 'wily',
            '4.4': 'xenial'}

If the kernel number is not in this dictionary (yakkety for this case), the script will crash like:
