Hi @demobox :
<ul>
<li>Q1: The company I am in uses PB as IaaS provider, and seeing that jclouds 
doesn't support PB yet, I created this PR. I wanted to contribute to an 
open-source project (my first actually. :D) which I told @nacx via email. I was 
interested in the concept of <i>cloud provider abstraction</i> which I 
initially saw in <a href="http://deltacloud.apache.org/";>deltacloud</a> (ruby). 
But then, I'm a java-biased person and so here I am. :)</li>
<li>Q2: I don't exactly understand the question, but I'll continue to update 
this provider for quite a while - most likely in 2+ years depending with their 
frequency of API updates. </li>
<li>Q3: Unfortunately, PB doesn't support <i>testing accounts for dev</i> (at 
least not yet). To get started with this PR, I requested a trial account. Since 
14 days is not enough, I emailed then <a 
href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/aarongarza";>Aaron Garza, VP Sales at 
ProfitBricks</a> for an extension after describing this project. This PR's 
development so far runs in an extended-trial basis.</li>
</ul>
With that said, thanks for noticing :wink: this PR. I look forward to learning 
a lot more through this development.
