To me it seems that GAE isnt really built for this kind of scenario. There is not a strong enough guarantee on confidentiality to allow the hosting of very sensitive data, even if the regulations would allow say temporary storage and processing (the data could later be transferred to somewhere inside the enterprise).
Since GAE is basically just python with some frameworks the "programming environment" isnt really where the value lies. Rather the value of Appengine lies in the easy deployment and the scalable hosting environment. None of these you would get if you had a "standalone" or "enterprise" version. So, even though it might not be impossible for Google to launch either an appliance or a software version of the GAE environment it seems to me highly unlikely and I am unsure about the value of such an offering?
