No - I had only meant to point out that whether or not features like 
that WOULD be in the "premium" version only
was what the original poster was probably worried about (NOT to suggest 
that I thought it was actually happening - hence my
comment about not being worried about actual functionality stagnating in 
the community version).

I was really commenting more on the fact that the followup message 
saying "This new feature isn't really being restricted to the paid 
version" was more likely to address the concern in the original post, 
much more so than the stream of angry "HOW DARE YOU, YOU INGRATE!" 
messages that preceded it, which I think were a bit of an overreaction 
to the concern expressed by a (presumably) non-native-English speaker in 
the first message.  Indeed, the followup message was kind of necessary 
given that without it, it looked a lot like a threat to do exactly what 
the original post was worried about (as though to paradoxically to 
punish the original poster for suggesting it).

I don't think the clumsily-worded post was really intended to be as 
accusatory as it seemed to a lot of people.  That's all.

I think I'm just suffering from flamewar fatigue this week...
