It is a reasonable business decision if we think of it as combining the enterprise branding of Akamai and the solid product behind Linode.
Instead of throwing away the brand, I just wish they retained the Linode name as a sub brand targeted at developers something like OVH and kimsufi (if that even makes sense).
To get an idea of what their intentions and goals behind this move are, we'll have to wait and see how the existing Linode customers will be treated w.r.t the product pricing & direction.
