As a happy linode user, your update is much appreciated.
I do feel a certain amount of loyalty to linode, as they've been an excellent service the past few years, and I see them battling to put out these fires.
I'm hoping as linode grows in size they can put in place more sophisticated measures to guard against this - DDoS is a problem everyone faces. Its tough, but when the dust settles, it could be an opportunity to innovate.

That's assuming it doesn't straight-up fill the pipe where ignoring it changes nothing.
