Linode certainly has a better track record than Digital Ocean, OVH,
Vultr/Choopa, and other operations that are absolute cesspools.  However,
there are still chronic issues with outbound abuse/attacks from Linode
that have not been adequately addressed.  If Linode is serious about
being a competent/professional operation then that needs to happen.

(Arguably, it should have already happened: it is the first
responsibility of every system/network administrator to ensure
that whatever they're running is not an operational hazard to
everyone/everything on the Internet.  This responsbility supersedes
all others at all times.  Anyone who isn't prepared for that, anyone
who isn't dedicated to that, anyone who can't or won't make that happen
not only isn't a professional - they're not even a competent amateur.
They're simply not good enough to run *anything* plugged into the Internet.)
