Do people see evidence of the live patching system doing something?

For me, canonical-livepatch status --verbose has never showed me any fixes, running linux-image-generic on 16.04.

Not really so far. I enabled it a couple months ago but have not seen any changes.

It's not clear to me if upgrading to HWE would correctly disable the livepatching.
