I've seen Linode getting a lot of flack for not updating customers on what is happening, but what clarity does this announcement provide that their DDoS status page wasn't providing? They were updating the status page regularly.

It gives those of us hosted on Linode a clear place to point our customers.

Push, not pull. Send an email. Don't expect people to go to a status page on their own.

Which they could easily do by enabling SMS/email/webhook notifications in their statuspage.io settings. As it is, you can only subscribe to an RSS feed it seems.
