You'd have to check the "rev" stuff. The stack isn't in the openstacks
but it is in the mainstacks. And "there is a stack <short name>" returns
true.
The stack behaves like any stack with destroystack set to false, after
it has been closed. If it's important that it not be in RAM, the script
needs to delete it.
