Libcloud was started by cloudkick, which rackspace acquired - for official support we need a dedicated person on staff who can maintain and answer questions from front line support, irc, etc.

That's what we mean by officially supported - that said, I have good news: we are looking into it, our pkgcloud, fog, jclouds, etc libraries are multi cloud/iaas libraries, and we believe in supporting these types of libraries (multi cloud, multi provider).

Stay tuned - we're working on it.

Thanks!

Rackspace is 100% supported in libcloud, both first-gen and next-gen. Just like bpiatt said, the whole library is maintained by Rackspace employees and others. Side bar: The community has only gotten better and the abstractions too!

Tomaz on the Libcloud PMC is a Racker and he's actively involved in the project making it work well with our cloud and others.

Absolutely, this is going to be a major part of my job going forward (this is my second week at rackspace :)).

Thanks too!
