Awesome. This is a huge missing piece and it's actually been kind of
weighing on me as something that needs work.

Yes although probably either #fedora-admin on freenode, or filing a work
ticket at https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ is going to be
more effective.

Rackspace, yes. The HP Public Cloud people are active here and very friendly
too. (See recent Fedora 19 announcement.) Both of those are OpenStack
underneath, although Rackspace is built on top of Xen so things are a little
different. Joyent is a whole 'nuther animal... they do currently support
Fedora, and I'll reach out to them to see what more they might be interested
in.

Please do. It's _very_ skeletal, obviously.
