Hi Adam,

Many people like me are happy with the Bionic kernel (linux 4.15) series 
in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Will installed systems stay with this kernel series (like with the 
previous LTS releases) or will there be an automatic upgrade to the 
Cosmic kernel series and further until the next LTS kernel series:

18.04 and 18.04.1 --> 18.04.{2,3,4,5}?

Best regards
Nio
