For those wondering "what makes it worth paying now?", GitHub briefly addresses that:

Teams who need advanced features (like code owners), enterprise features (like SAML), or personalized support can upgrade to one of our paid plans.

There's more, including most sections in a private repo's "Insights" tab still being greyed out. Full feature lists here: https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-githu...

Along with the expected limit bumps on Action execution time and package storage.

And, unfortunately, 'required reviews' (which IMO are a critical feature).

can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

because if you're referring to requiring review approvals before a PR can be merged, that's available in the free plan (under branch protection rules).

That's odd, https://github.com/pricing mentions it as a paid option.

A feature that's available for free on public repos isn't necessarily free for private repos, it seems. The wording on the pricing page isn't very clear about this, though.

If they mean that they're now removing required reviewers for public repos in the free plan, that's definitely a big step backward I think.

Required reviewers I think means in a team of [A, B, C], (A | B) are required but not C.

Unless i’m missing something, it should not be the same as “administrators” - otherwise branch protection rules would be fine.
