For clarification, this is to gate global styles to Personal correct, down from the current plan. Not to have limited global styles on personal?

@richtabor Exactly! I'm reusing the same phrasing we have been using for at least two years — which admittedly can be confusing for anyone who hasn't followed its development.

I'll clarify this in the issue description.

Historically, what's been the path forward? And what would be grounds for reverting?

what would be grounds for reverting?

Presumably revenue tanking. It'd be really rather lovely to quantify this upfront, so that if revenue does noticeably decrease then we can act quickly and decisively.

We have been monitoring GS-related data for years and have a decent idea of how it trends: paYJgx-5tg-p2.

I think that if we lose revenue, whatever we lost, we'd gain in number of upgrades — which is arguably more important in the long run.
