You've got to wonder how long Google intends to maintain the beta label for AppEngine. It does give them some an out for these sort of issues but then again many developers are already paying them to go over quota. Perhaps Google might want to rethink this policy and make AppEngine totally free until the time they can stabilize it to the point of it being reliable enough to host commercial and professional sites. I understand that it costs them to provide this service to us but one can argue that it isn't a service until it is reliable.
Just my humble opinion of course and your mileage may vary.
