Presumably sometime in August those who installed Trusty using the 14.04.2, 14.04.3, and 14.04.4 media will be presented with HWE EOL warnings, and they'll have the choice of either upgrading to Xenial or performing an HWE upgrade. No test case exists for HWE upgrades.
I began saving a list of web links of problems encountered when Precise users were notified of HWE EOL in anticipation of recommending that we amend our download page to recommend users always try the first point release. I chose not to do that because the 14.04.1 images were affected by bug #1265192 which could result in data loss. (That may be worth pursuing prior to 16.04.2 but that's a whole different issue).
Anyway here's a partial list of problems encountered when Precise users hit HWE EOL (I'd think we'd want to avoid this for Trusty HWE EOL):
