You get something for free, they announce it and you complain about not having a bigger announcement? If they had the banner and you missed it [or someone else] they would complain about the banner not being big enough.

> they announce it Forgive me for not subscribing to their blog? That's not how you announce changes to customers. Using a Level 7 CDN is based on trust. This is not a trustworthy action, period.

  If you're running infrastructure you care about, you really need to own the responsibility of keeping up to date with what you're supporting. Free or not.

  Maybe you're right. The important thing is to remember this moment the next time you're signing up for a free product that seems just a little too good to be true.

  On other forums than HN, but they surely do exist; check xda-developers, perhaps, for complaints from ancient Android users, as a theoretical sample of how to find them. Regardless, that’s one of the three certain customer outcomes when providing off-the-shelf services to human beings — free or not: it’s too expensive (in money and/or effort!), it doesn’t precisely fit their needs, and change is bad.
