Hi All,

We were having a similar use case like *Preemptible Instances* called as *Rich-VM’s* which
are high in resources and are deployed each per hypervisor. We have a custom code in
production which tracks the quota for such instances separately and for the same reason
we have *rich_instances* custom quota class same as *instances* quota class. 

I discussed this thing pretty recently with sean-k-mooney I hope he remembers it.

For the record, my original concept in creating quota classes is that
you'd be able to set quotas per tier of user and easily be able to move
users from one tier to another.  This was just a neat idea I had, and
AFAIK, Rackspace never used it, so you can call it YAGNI as far as I'm
concerned :)

I didn't intend it to be highly coupled, but it's been a while since I
wrote it, and of course I've matured as a developer since then, so
*shrug*.  I also don't think Rackspace has ever used turnstile.

I'm fine with that plan, speaking as the original developer; as I say,
I don't think Rackspace ever utilized the functionality anyway, and if
no one else pipes up saying that they're using it, I'd be all over
deprecating the quota classes in favor of the new hotness.
