Which AMI ID are you looking for, in which regions? We had a problem

where we accidentally had many _unreleased_ snapshots consuming space
and costing us significant money, and recently cleaned those up.
However, all of the _released_ images back to F18 should still be
there. In US East for F21, we have ami-d2d999ba for F21 PV and
ami-acd999c4 and ami-78bafa10 for HVM. (I'm not sure offhand what the
distinction between those other two is -- I'm looking this up in the
middle of a meeting...)

Of course, we *do* strongly recommend using the supported releases, but
we understand that it's important to have time to transition and that
sometimes old images are useful for testing, too.
