(I think they've more or less completed the Greenby transfer now. It's
not been seamless - one example being that their old system allowed you
to not use encryption, the Greenby one requires it, so those few
customers who weren't now have to use stunnel or change client - and,
IMO at least, it's not as reliable: I notice outages more than I used
to. Though that _may_ have improved in the last few weeks.)

It's probably _not_ that many - and the saving in getting rid of
potentially "problematic" customers is probably considered worth it. :-(
