Just for the record, several of Debian's servers (including Debian's web
server) have been run by VA for some time now without a hitch. Every time
there has been a crash, we've been back up in a matter of hours.

Personally I adore VA for their amazing contributions to the opensource
community: they employ a number of Debian developers full time for Debian
work, and host the majority of openprojects.net. And they probably do more
that I'm not aware of.
