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.
