It sounds like we already have a solution, so I don't suggest anyone spend more time on this since I am sure there are lots of bugs that would be worth fixing. I don’t want to blame anyone, just to clarify the state of affairs. It looks like Rackspace failed to communicate properly and on short notice. People simply make mistakes, including myself, so I don’t think pointing fingers is productive.
