I had really hoped that they had changed their stance on incident management. If it's true that they suppressed information about a possible wide-scale compromise where customer data could have been affected, then despite everything else about their service that's so great, there's no way anyone should want to continue to be a customer there.
Given Linode's past behavior and the information provided in the IRC chat, I think there's reasonable suspicion that customers' password hashes were stolen and Linode wasn't completely honest in their recent email to customers.
