First: Yes Second: We currently do not have the capability to provide upgrades. Initially (when the docs were first written), the registry would "reserve" the email forward for 6 months. Since then they've changed their tune - as long as the domain exists, the email forward is reserved. Unfortunately we are unable to provision the forward (we're working on that), so you MUST get it as a bundle if you're going to want it at all (or wait patiently for an unknown period of time for us to sort out how to give you the upgrade)
