Beta: CloudLinux 7 hybrid with 4.18 kernel

As you may know from our previous announcement, we had some unsupported and not implemented features. For some of them, we have made a decision. For others — still discussing.

Regarding OOM killer and СPU boost, we have conducted some tests that show the high performance of the native OOM killer and СPU boost, so we have decided to leave them native in the classic 4.18 kernel. And we are keeping up to speed and in the future, we will probably improve them considering your feedback.

We also notify you that Symlink Owner Match Protection is now enabled by default (before, it was disabled by default). And the /etc/sysctl.conf parameter proc_can_see_other_uid is the same as in CloudLinux 7 now (before, it was more restrictive, see details here).
