No, the move to Xenial will not include a transition to Snappy, this is a longer term work effort which we are also actively planning. We are working with the snappy team on issues unique to ubuntu-personal (which will be the basis for the phone) which are a superset of the problem space compared to ubuntu-core. As Lukasz mentioned going to Xenial requires us to have a well thought through migration path for apps/scopes and we will communicate much more on this and work with developers as the plans get finalized.
