Compute pricing isn't really private. When you're talking about high end compute, pricing is very much case by case. What is the point of posting it if changes due to everyone having different needs?
We have base pricing on our website, but I guarantee that if someone comes to me asking for a year reservation, I'm not going to give the quoted price. What I have there is just a good starting point to get the discussion going.
I also had a great dialog with GC on LI over their version of this posting, it seems they really value this customer and it is long term relationship. My assumption is the actual pricing reflects that.
One other thing on the special needs, GC mentioned they had 3 extra spare chassis in play as uptime was critical. That is not an insignificant amount of investment to have just laying around.
