Will DigitalOcean automagically apply the patches for you?

I would expect it's in their best interest.

I'm certain DreamHost is already upgraded. GoDaddy is probably rolling it
out already, but I no longer know anyone on the team over there, so am not
sure how quick they will be.

This is admittedly one of the advantages of cloud. The infrastructure
providers can centrally test and roll out for everyone. The disadvantage
is if it's something that affects you, but they don't know or care about
it :).

ciao,
