Here is a suggestion for us all: Since the only ISP with serious Linux support has now been chewed up by a larger fish, perhaps now is a time to consider an alternative possibility - a community ISP.
One business model would be to function as a cooperative - the shareholders are all employees or customers or both. The open source development concepts could also be implemented - if you want a new feature, find a few other employees/customers who want it, develop it yourselves, receive it for no additional cost (and perhaps charge customers who did contribute to its development for using it). Can anybody estimate how big such an entity would need to be in order to be viable? Does anybody know of an existing project elsewhere of a similar nature ?
