really? I've noticed an increase in maintenance with Linode recently but they've always been really great with notice, so much so I am consistently surprised. If there is ever going to be planned downtime I've got an email at least a week in advance and it gives me the option to migrate my linode to another server at my own convenience if their schedule isn't compatible with my needs. Do you not get these emails and options?

For the scheduled ones, I think I did receive some prior notice, I might have gotten particularly unlucky with a bunch of emergency/network/etc. maintenance affecting many of my servers simultaneously.
