I've been scanning through the comments, and I have yet to see anything written by a Heroku engineer to defend the company. I'm hoping its in here and I missed it. I have a feeling that this all might be absolutely true, and they have lawyers/PR trying to think of a damage control plan. I suspect that the reason they'be been pushed to do this is financial, and it makes me think that Nodejitsu's model of simply not providing ANY free plans other than one month trials is a good one. I realize it's apples and oranges, since NJ is focused on async and this wouldn't even be a problem for a Node app, but from a business perspective I feel like this would alleviate pressure. How many dynos does Heroku have running for non-paying customers? Do these free dynos actually necessitate this random routing mesh bullshit? If not, what?

Nodejitsu actually does have a free plan if your project is Open Source. http://blog.nodejitsu.com/opensource-dot-jitsu http://blog.nodejitsu.com/opensource-dot-jitsu
