Hi Russ,

This is incredibly valuable feedback. If it's not overly proprietary
information, I'd be fascinated to know what the relative support load
from various distros is over their various releases. Any chance you
track that information??
Would you mind sharing what hypervisor/container you were using.
Aside from constant reboots, post-update reboots, is there any
additional areas for testing that you found need more
attention/testing?
