feature request: rackspace provider

It would be great if this kit were expanded to include support for Vagrant's rackspace provider-plugin.

I tried my hand at doing that very thing, but realized that in my noob'ness I'm missing parts of the big picture with respect to setting up the "box" correctly, etc.

A couple of pull requests (#100, #101) have been merged into the vagrant-rackspace plugin such that it's now feasible to deploy CoreOS to the Rackspace Cloud, including customization via cloud-config.

Here's a Vagrantfile, etc. adapted to that purpose from the files in this repo: Sample Vagrantfile, cloud-config for deploying CoreOS to the Rackspace Cloud.

It's not perfect, and I'm not sure if and how you might want to leverage it within this repository, but I think it would be great if coreos-vagrant did provide boilerplate for getting up and running with CoreOS on the Rackspace Cloud, i.e. in addition to supporting the virtualbox and vmware_fusion providers.

By the way, given a little direction from the maintainers as to if and how you would like this information integrated, I will be happy to work on it and submit a pull request.

@michaelsbradleyjr Interesting. Maybe we can merge this Vagrantfile into a rackspace subdirectory :)

@michaelsbradleyjr Would you be willing to maintain this file moving forward?

@philips yes, I would be willing to maintain it. Here's what I'll do – fork and work on a Rackspace subdirectory, incorporating a few ideas that aren't represented in my gist linked above (but keeping it "plain vanilla" overall). I don't have time today, but I'll start in tomorrow most likely, and will send you a pull request when I think it's ready for review.
