I didn't mean to criticize. There were mistakes made - there always are. But amongst the list of mistakes, I would not put Slicehost's slow response anywhere near the top, and I'm surprised that anyone (particularly someone whose opinions I normally respect) could choose that as the lesson to highlight. Anyway, when is Apache going to get serious about a bug tracking project? :-)
