There's no such thing as Kolab Enterprise 16. There's Kolab 16. Which is
unified version also for enterprises. In this case, you get the same
code no matter if you payed Kolab Systems or not.

Winterfell is the most recent "for development, likely unstable".

Yes, Centos is better supported. Other distros support is on community
effort and that for is delayed/incomplete.

Upgrade to both Kolab 16 and Kolab Enterprise 14 is possible, but Kolab
16 may not be ready for production yet, especially not on CentOS.
