This makes me slightly worried.

I'm fine with paying for a service like Gitlab's hosted instance (and will start paying for it), it's a pretty good service. The UI isn't amazing but the tools are better IMO than GitHub's.. last time I checked, anyway.

What worries me is that as a heavy user of self-hosted CE, I see frequently that many features that I would like are enterprise (EE) only. Something like doing an IP whitelist/banlist on your server in the nginx config is surprisingly difficult unless you are an EE customer. It's a common use case that shouldn't be EE-only.

This change on their values (the very generous free private hosting) makes me wonder what the future holds.
