Completely agree with you on this one, being a ex-rackspace employee. Even though I was mainly involved in the networking and security side, I still had to do general dc support work and changing anything in those boxes was a complete pain in the arse ! (I used to work for conxion before Rackspace, and certainly noticed the difference...)
I'm not sure how the US setup worked from day to day, but we never let any unauthorized people inside the UK datacentre, not even the marketing people (!). I'm guessing this was because the US setup was (and is) ALOT larger and fully kitted out compared to the UK.
Saying that, neither the UK or San Antonio datacentres were marked saying 'Rackspace' (athough this may've changed, as I left two years ago)
