Jeff, You're probably right that no-one in GAE team has input on pricing strategy for Google Apps, so therefore pointless to vent here. It's a good point and I apologize for diluting a tech thread with this. But it's also not 100% impossible that Greg could put a word through to someone with sensitive ears willing to consider grandfathering a few worthy exceptions. It is not unheard of. I actually heard there were some cases individually considered. I wouldn't bother, but some good things are resting on it. And Frantisek, It's easy to be blase about money when you're consulting and the money is flowing in. I've been there. But voluntary work is unpaid, and in the Philippines just $10 means the difference between a child keeping their teeth or not, for example. But I digress, don't worry, I won't be making a nuisance of myself here; if anyone has a relevant contact in Google I can approach, please let me know.
