I will post it here, since I cannot find chat to ask a question or any specific place to post bugs. Sorry, if it's wrong place to post such bug, redirect me in right direction please.
My setup
Freshly (10.01.2018) downloaded and installed elementary os. No additional PPAs. After installation my work've been:
apt update; apt upgrade; apt install chromium-browser firefox mc pydf grc zsh git transmission; dpkg -i ~/Downloads/slack.deb ; apt install -f; apt autoremove
So, I have pretty standard system.
Problem
apt update leads to

Problem is here:
Err:8 http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu loki Release 404 Not Found Err:9 http://packages.elementary.io/appcenter loki Release 404 Not Found [IP: 104.28.5.44 80] Err:10 http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/os-patches/ubuntu loki Release 404 Not Found
My hypotesis
cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elementary.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu loki main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu loki main
There should be xenial instead of loki. Same goes for
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/appcenter.list/etc/apt/sources.list.d/patches.list
Taken actions
I've done this find /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -type f -exec sed -i.bak -e 's/loki/xenial/' '{}' \;
Then apt upgrade. Below lies output of apt upgrade

Need to get 13,4 MB of archives. After this operation, 20,9 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Many packages with names pantheon-*, switchboard-*, *gala*, *vala* etc, lead me to think, that this is correct decision.
Question
Is my actions from previous section is the right ones? Am I safe to upgrade? (I think so). If that's the case - should I report it somewhere else? Make a simple PR? (cannot find related repo though)
find /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ -type f -exec sed -i.bak -e 's/loki/xenial/' '{}' \;did the trick.
