I can't believe I'm still writing about this... at the very least you're hacking around the $9/mo fee for an always-on instance.
The "free tier" of appengine works because all those zillions of little test apps and experiments that people create don't actually occupy resources beyond a small amount of disk space. If you create a magic button that keeps even the unused apps resident, the cluster will fill up with terabytes of idle ram. If you want to skeeve the system to keep your own app resident, keep quiet about it and hope there aren't enough other people doing this to force Google to close the loophole. BTW, I don't see why this calculus would change at all with the new pricing scheme. You could still have a lot of zombie apps eating up their free 24 instance-hours.
