Do you have a timetable on when tickets and announcements will be set up? There are outstanding issues with hundreds/thousands of votes with zero updates, and promises made 12 months ago with no progress. I've heard DO reps in the past say they were going to update things but lack of follow-up is always what happened.
I think I speak for a lot of DO users who have to rely on AWS/Linode for larger clients that we'd move more infrastructure over to larger plans if we could just get better ops timelines. Your support for servers has been nothing short of great in my experience, but no timelines and no communication on stuff as important as retaining IPs and uploading custom ISOs (both available on cheap $5 VPS providers that are nobodies on LowEndBox) is really frustrating.
The biggest mistake we've made previously was promising dates where none really existed. We don't have concrete dates for you. When we do, and _only_ when we do, we'll update those UserVoice items. Bear with us, it won't be long before I have more for you.
I noticed since few month back, if you destroy your droplet and create fresh droplet even after few days, you will get the same IP. Only in same DC though.
Maybe some sort of temporary policy while they're working on proper IP retainer.
