Good (amazing) job folks. :)

Oh, that's good for us. Should still be fixed, if only so that we can
test properly :)

[Mooney, Sean K]  so on that it would bre quite trivial to have disk image builder install
The linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04 linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04-edge to pull in a 4.10 or
4.11 kernel respctivly if the default 4.4 is broken. We just need a new dib element to install the package
And modify the  nodepool config to include it when it rebuildes the image every night. Alternitivly
You can pull a vanilla kernel form http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Follow the process documented here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
If you want to maintain testing with 4.4.x
