DigitalOcean to begin charging for Snapshots

A screen grab of the notification email sent out can be seen here[0].

There seems to be no official announcement on the blog so the link here could be updated when that is released.

Haven't they always been charging for snapshots? My understanding is that this is a change to pricing, not introduction of charges.

I seem to remember something like and additional $1 per month on the smallest VM.
