Good for them on cutting bloat and focusing on what's important to them.
Bad for me as now I have to find another service to store my project binaries and (likely) add to my monthly bills.

It still leaves some prominent open source projects, including ElasticSearch, with extra work that they need to do for their next release.
Anecdotally, I was always surprised when I ran across it being used, as it was a relatively infrequent occurrence. It seemed to always work well though, when I did. I was even tempted to use it for a few projects. Guess I will have to seek other avenues. Be it s3, dropbox, cloudapp, droplr, or something else.
But there's a very real and somewhat irrational negative emotional response when going from free to not-free. Or alternatively, from included in private costs to a paid for feature taken away.
