Actually the current bug report was not against Ubuntu 16.04, codename: Xenial Xerus. It is against missing firmware for newer kernels. Actually Ubuntu 18.04 is using already 4.15 kernel. There are even newer to come when time goes on. At that time when tested newer kernels, the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS was out and therefore used. As I described, also the newest linux-firmware package found in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS still missing required firmware.
