> A BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, GUIDE TO MANAGING PRICE CHANGES [...] Thanks, David. But I see this as largely skew to the issue at hand here. The problem is not that the price is high, or even that the metric is different. The problem is that evaluating the metric represents large amounts of new work, all of which emphasises the disconnect between the metric and the value proposition. If they'd changed from per-node to per-TB (for example), then I think we would have seen an entirely conventional wave of grumbling, just as you describe. I don't even know what the new rates would be for us. I am most definitely not complaining that "the price went up". The metric they care about is one which requires new irrelevant effort, when it could be trivially reported by the client libraries we're already installing. It adds insult to inconvenience. - Allen S. Rout
