I think the majority of complaints will come from small firms that don't have budgets for expansive licensing. I work with a nonprofit that has multiple labs setup, we have AD integration, RBAC, and use GPU passthrough features in the lab. All of this is run on donated or EOL hardware. We take in $0 in cash funding and only accept hardware and volunteer time. For us it basically means we either (fail to upgrade) or look for alternatives. I think the modeling of being paid is fair and businesses should work towards paying something. Even then though, it's tough because licensing adds up. Some of the startups we mentor that are running XEN have very similar setups to the non profit. Many are running older EOL Dell servers with multisocket. One startup we work with has 5 servers in a rack, all purchased for under $1500. With the standard pricing agreement from Citrix, that would work out to $7,630 per year. This is all expected from a completely bootstrapped (pre-funding) startup. I think it's a bad faith move removing features, I understand pushing the support need, but that can be addressed in a different manner.
