After testing the upgrade procedure multiple times, I found no
problems with upgrading directly from 3.12 to 3.16:

# sed -i 's/.12/.16/g' /etc/apk/repositories
# apk update -v
# apk add -v --upgrade apk-tools
# apk upgrade -v --available
# update-conf

Reboot system and you are done. Probably 5 minutes of work, with
'update-conf' taking the most time.

A funny thing i noticed while upgrading:

"After this operation, 414 MiB of disk space will be freed."

In a world where everything is only getting more bloated with every
release, this is just amazing and one reason why Alpine is the best
Linux distribution available. Thanks.

I will test the procedure again when 3.20 is released :)

Best regards,
