all that useful, as we're all aware (or, should be, maybe I'm

Yes, but the "this box got rooted" post might still be a useful
reminder to Pay Attention, and might provoke useful discussion
on how best to avoid these things.
One other thing might be useful - knowing the "population size",
if that is possible.
Additionally, I must say that I'm very happy I
chose bitfolk for my
vps provider. Things like this (and even the discussion itself) make
me feel very good about the people running things behind the scenes.
+1 to that.
