SSAS: Deploying to renamed databases

Last year I logged an issue on the connect site around deploying from BIDS and renamed databases. https://connect.microsoft.c... I got a couple of messages relating to this issue, one saying that it was being closed as it was a duplicate issue and then another one recently where it was updated to indicate that the issue has been fixed in SQL Server 2008.

SQL Server 2008 has been released, but some BI developers will need to wait...

For those of use with MSDN or Technet subscriptions, SQL Server 2008 is available for download now and you have probably heard this from multiple sources already. (is there an echo in here?)
