Ok, I think I need some clarification here before I can proceed. I see that this version introduces a big big delta in the linux-azure-edge packaging. For instance, debian/control gets modified in such a way that the generated binary packages are changing their naming from *-azure-edge* to *-azure* - that doesn't seem correct?

For instance, linux-azure-edge in xenial right now generates a binary package:
linux-image-4.15.0-1005-azure-edge

While with the new linux-azure-edge in the PPA, this changes into:
linux-image-4.15.0-1006-azure

If we want to switch -azure from artful to bionic and get rid of -azure-edge, I would expect the switch to be done in linux-azure instead.

To answer your question the 4.15 kernel should become linux-azure in Xenial ASAP, so edge will cease being radically different until 18.10's kernel appears.
