for the record, i am the person who started the WHT thread.
there is a mixture of truth and lies on both sides, to be honest.
i am annoyed with it, because i reached out to several linode employees privately to given them an opportunity to explain what was going on -- they either said 'no comment' or said my linode was fine.
based on the irc log, that is clearly not the case. which is why i decided to raise my concerns publically.
luckily for me, my linode was not doing anything mission-critical, just some secondary monitoring and running an ircd for a network i like using, but there are others who are using linode for mission-critical work, and they deserve more transparency than this.
