One key item to note is that switching to upgraded kernel path breaks live kernel patching at this time. I was considering switching I saw this caveat... "For clarity, the Canonical Livepatch Service is only available and supported against the generic and lowlatency GA kernel flavours for 64-bit Intel/AMD (aka, x86_64, amd64) builds of the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial) release. HWE kernels are not supported at this time." https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/RollingLTSEnablementStack https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/RollingLTSEnablementStack Also, it's not clear if there is a different kernel/command for upgraded kernels on a server. EDIT: looks like it's going to be "linux-generic-hwe-16.04"
