AWS going to rate limit "list all my buckets" call

AWS had this update out yesterday and we ran into problems with any several calls involving buckets, until AWS reverted their change. Explained here: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=333265&#333250

In the right_s3.rb, the bucket method loops through buckets which always calls the "list all my buckets" API. right_s3.rb, lines 106-111:

    buckets.each do |bucket| 
      if bucket.name == name 
        result = bucket
        break
      end
    end

right_s3.rb, lines 73-78:

    def buckets
      @interface.list_all_my_buckets.map! do |entry|
        owner = Owner.new(entry[:owner_id], entry[:owner_display_name])
        Bucket.new(self, entry[:name], entry[:creation_date], owner)
      end
    end

Is there a solution to referencing Buckets without using the list_all_my_buckets call?

Ok, so the alternative for me is to never use the RightAws::S3 bucket method and just initialize RightAws::S3::Bucket.new() directly.

Ex.

s3 = RightAws::S3.new(aws_access_key, aws_secret_key)
myBucket = RightAws::S3::Bucket.new(s3, 'bucket_name')

I'm not sure if not specifying an owner or creation date will have any side effects.
