Well, you did request to be part of the Xen beta.

Let me clarify: I'm not complaining. If that looked like a complaint, then I'm sorry; it wasn't.

It's just that I thought I could stick around for the beta, but it turns out I can't, that's all. Xen's going to be great, but the kinks will have to be worked out by people who have a little more latitude with their Linodes.

Its been acting more like Xen Alpha lately.
