LOL. I hear you, man, and sympathize with you completely. There's nothing more annoying than having to wait for the prod server to complete an update, especially when you are as you say doing spot testing.
The other issue I have is with the chance that with every new deployment the index building phase can take a long time yet your new code is ready to serve requests. That is totally unacceptable. That is not what I would call a real production environment. If you cannot deploy your app to production with the guarantee that all the pieces will come together at the same time then the system obviously isn't ready for production applications. Who can deploy an app with code that makes use of database features such as the availability of an index if they can not guarantee the indexes will be ready to serve the code. This to me at least is the greatest danger of deploying an app on appengine. It is equivalent to a banking system where if you transfer money between accounts only one side of the transaction completes yet the system treats it like both sides completed. Google needs to correct this immediately. I've said it before and I will say it again, until Google stops calling app engine a beta they shouldn't charge for it. Period. I believe there is great potential in app engine but in its current state it is not ready for prime time.
