Once the Zorins implement the upgrade feature, you should be able to upgrade from OS 16 to OS 17 yes. But if the Zorins continue doing what they have done in the past, chances are the next two releases will be rolling releases, not LTS's. But either way, if the upgrade option was indeed baked in, we all are gonna appreciate it.
With POP OS, we already have this feature...
So as it is with many things, I suppose the jist of it is, patience is key.
