I had the same reaction. Kind of a weird statement (mixed in with what seems to be a list of cons for Engine Yard rather than just pros for Rackspace). But I suppose the GitHub guys are tackling hardware I/O problems and performance issues the vast majority of web apps (especially any of mine) will never have to face. At least I hope so, in order to calm my own cognitive dissonance. I assume your comment is in reference to GitHub’s announcement that they’re moving to Rackspace and “real” servers.
