In summary: I trust them no less than practically any other reputable provider.
If you look at the turbulent history of providers that won't follow court orders, it's a real bucket of fun. Not one I particularly feel comfortable building a sustainable open-source not-for-profit business on top of. Nevertheless, freedom is the heart of what we do: all our software is open-source and easily self-hostable, so if people want to go for those kinds of providers, they're absolutely able to. In fact if you're super concerned about physical security, I can only recommend hosting at home as a solution.
But that doesn't mean we're happy with what happened here. Regardless or who performed it or why, this was an attack on an essential layer of what keeps our systems secure, and that's why we're taking steps to ensure they become impossible. It's also our goal to diversify our hosting locations, to other providers and geographic regions for a number of reasons. That just hasn't happened yet, because we're still pretty small. If you have suggestions of other providers that we should be looking at, I'm very interested!
