Wow, what an education. Thank you for your very helpful response. The answers I have gotten from the Ubuntu server team have always been very beneficial and I appreciate it.

How does this work and does it work > differently under netplan? Please see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2015-May/038761.html and in particular the paragraph starting "For upgrades".
