That's a really good point. If it were really, super painless to set up a local Dotcloud "Sandbox", it would alleviate a lot of the pain of the loss of the free Sandbox. But it's gotta be as easy as it used to be. For me, this means that there should be a zero-config Homebrew package for Mac and a zero-config Apt package for Debian/Ubuntu. If this existed, it would be really easy to convert self-hosting customers to the paid service for scalability and support, and maybe some of the Dashboard tools. But considering this could be months away, I really wish the Sandbox were sticking around for a while...
