Comment 14 for bug 520707

I object to fixing this in the client library. If this is a bug in the service, it should be fixed in the service. So what happens when it is fixed in Eucalyptus? It is removed from boto? You could argue that it doesn't have to be, since boto would continue to work regardless of whether an int or a string is returned by the service, but it is best to fix problems where they arise and not introduce needless client workarounds. Potentially, this approach leads to a number of hacks on the client end that are unnecessary, will work with only a single client and potentially reduces code quality.
