I hate to be a content-less "ditto", so let me only highlight that this comment represents a LOT of people's views. They were always very responsive (hell, direct support in IRC!) and it would be a shame to lose that. But it's a big field out there, and I (and I bet most) have no problem walking away if things go poorly under new management.
I'm also disturbed that this hasn't been communicated any way besides a blog post. You have my e-mail address: let me know! This shouldn't be surprise I find when I'm on HN. I log into my server regularly: I don't visit your blog every day. IMHO, off to a less-than-stellar start.
That's not fair. I'm not a Slicehost--uh, Rackspace customer, but if I was, I have more than enough stuff in my newsreader that I wouldn't want to subscribe to their blog.
