I really dislike that they make no distinction about what is and isn't an X-Pack feature in those release notes: "Data Streams sounds cool! It could help alleviate some of the management overhead that I was accomplishing with ingest pipelines." clicks into the docs `X-Pack only` I get that it's complementary to their ILM functionality, which, too, is an X-Pack feature, but still, clarity would be helpful.

Many of the X-Pack features are actually available in their "Basic" license and even public source: https://www.elastic.co/what-is/open-x-pack https://www.elastic.co/what-is/open-x-pack but just not under an actual OSS license. e.g. "Data Streams" is covered under the Basic license so you can use it for free (I think? As far as I can tell at least). You can find the feature on their subscriptions page: https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions I find the whole situation with X-Pack, Subscriptions and OSS vs Basic super confusing and the subscription page seems very bad at explaining it all.
