The split model leaves too many holes to make it really useful for the community. When we add things like "authentication", we'll ship the plugins (like okta integration (for enterprises), etc. We will do our best to maintain all of the plugins (but if there are 30 different auth providers, we will have to rely on the community to maintain the smaller ones), but, enterprises will pay us to ENSURE everything is up to date, safe, etc.

The Support + Service model has been proven by large and small companies alike - it is one that will also survive the AI contraction coming.

Correct for now. We've got a ways to go to hammer out the real details of enterprise. We wouldn't want a world where not having the enterprise-y add-ons would hinder the core value prop.
