I can tell you why we did it to begin with (which I'm hoping is no longer a valid reason). We originally did it because ubuntu 14.04 did not have any appropriate usable packages for uio drivers. I for one would be overjoyed to make the shift you are proposing, but we do need to decide what we want to do about ubuntu 14.04 in the process.
One possible question to ask is: do we want to support ubuntu 1404 in vpp 17.04?
