Wow, do I hate it when Samuel Otto Wood is right. This change kicks us right in the shins as we get by happily on a $22/month plan and the new pricing would take us up over $100. Nothing like what happened to Pippin but enough that we'd rather put Git onto one of our VPS and use Github for open source collaboration only. And without having everything in one place, Github just became a whole lot less convenient.

It looks like Github has left themselves lots of room to backpedal. Let's hope they do.

PS. Monthly SAAS and plugin renewal fees really do add up. Into the thousands. Fine when the weather is fair but taking on too much fixed overhead leaves a business in a difficult position if and when the weather ever changes.
