Great. I hope rackspace fixes their control panel before this happens. The current one has required me to contact support to make dns changes because my end was throwing errors. After a year of that bullshit I left for a different host. I found rackspace's servers to be excellent but the control panel is very slow, buggy, and lacks functionality that the slicehost panel has. (like setting TXT records in the dns.)
Edit: Just to note. The only issue I've had with rackspace was the control panel. The support was excellent. The people working there are excellent. I want to use their product. The control panel not working just made me feel dependent on support for everything I'd rather manage myself.
Yes! I can't believe the control panel has been able to exist in such a shitty state for a long time. I mostly interact with cloudservers through the API these days, but last I remember, the control panel didn't let you set up wildcard DNS, which was a major use-case for me. It actually had javascript validation to disallow it, if you turned off JS, it worked fine.
