Yeah, I often get annoyed when DigitalOcean doesn’t keep with with Ubuntu kernels. One of my DigitalOcean servers is running Ubuntu 15.04 and kernel 3.19.0-21. The newest kernel from Ubuntu is -49, which DigitalOcean does not have. I also have -26 in my /lib/modules, but they don’t have that either. So now I have to explicitly install -30, the latest they support, or remember to update later.

Is there a good reason they can’t automatically add all new kernels from the major distributions?
