Their wikipedia page, the 3rd google result for me, should provide enough info by itself.

I do agree that some level of explanation would definitely be useful, but this comes up so often that I really don't find it surprising that people are too lazy to explain such statements.

There are times I am comfortable talking publicly about things and contributing context or color commentary.

There are times I am comfortable broadcasting clear, direct advice that might hurt some entity's feelings.

There aren't many times when I am comfortable doing both at the same time.

So you're not comfortable saying:

> Linode has had enough security issues that I wouldn't trust them with my servers.

I am comfortable saying "Don't use Linode."
