ISPs providing "warrant canaries"

Someone wrote here in the recent past about libraries
bypassing secret warrants by updating their boards
every X days/months with a "nobody has served us a
secret warrant" type message.
I am using a new offsite storage vendor, rsync.net,
which publishes what they call a "warrant canary":
http://www.rsync.net/resources/notices/canary.txt
Which I found interesting.
Is this what they have been called, or did they make
up the term "warrant canary" ?
How large of a grain of salt should I take this with ?
It seems (and always did when I read of the libraries
doing it) like a reasonable idea, and their
implementation (signing the message, including a
non-forgeable date stamp) is thoughtful.
It's an interesting time we live in ...
