Right now we use this to deploy the user's war files to our AS instances. We 
ssh into the box and stop the deployment scanner, scp the file, then ssh back 
in and restart the deployment scanner. At some point we'll probably also want 
to setup SSH tunnels to some of the instances but don't immediately have a need 
for it.

Stateful in what way? If you're referring to keypairs, we are prepared to pass 
that in on every call. Since keypairs are EC2-specific, what if the run_command 
expected an authentication token as a parameter and that value was interpreted 
appropriately via each driver? So, this would be the root password on Rackspace 
and the keypair on EC2.
