I honestly love Linode and am sure they'll come out better as a result of this. But our customers aren't as understanding. Currently we're playing a bit of cat and mouse and with each data centre going down - we're switching our recovery process into gear and restoring to a different VPS (outside Linode). We have linodes on pretty much all locations, but if this continues at this rate, we simply won't have any linodes left there.
It would be very hard to justify going back to Linode afterwards, even with the best intentions to do so. "... So you seriously want us to go back to this hosting provider that caused us all this mess over Christmas / New Year's??"
