When an equivalent MR would be issued to linux kernel, and it would be closed with wording "become a platinum supporter", will the reaction be the same? Something like this happened in the past with android fork and subsequent merge back. I think the answer "we already implemented this the way we wanted, it is in paid version, supported, by us, so pay us" is good leadership of the project, ensuring it's long term health.
