My thinking is that 'if' it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to operate a cloudstack cloud and millions customizing and running a competing IaaS, then why would I want 'the competition' to also take advantage of that? I'd want them hemorrhaging, trying to get said-competing-IaaS up and running. :) Maybe thats just the ruthless competitor in me.
