It would appear the Lubuntu developers don’t yet want to rebase the operating system on the Qt-based LXQt desktop environment, the next-gen version of LXDE, because it is still in development. And considering the fact that Xenial Xerus is an LTS (Long-Term Support) release, we won’t be seeing LXQt in Lubuntu 16.04.
