Hi Chris,
There are details on the wiki:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Ubuntu#20.04_.28Focal_Fossa.29_and_beyond
under "No support for LZ4-compressed kernels at BitFolk". Calling it a
kernel hack makes it sound scarier than it is, it's more a kernel
compression workaround.
Regards,
Roger

If I understand correctly, this ultimately gives an upgrade path from
Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 without having to use the kernel hack.
As it happens I plan to reinstall one of my VPS soon, so I’d like to understand this a
bit better. Are you saying that it is not possible to install Ubuntu 20.04 currently
without a kernel hack? Where can I read about this? A quick Google search hasn’t revealed
anything helpful and the Bitfolk site lists 20.04 as an available option.
Regards,
Chris
