Would you maybe consider making a distinction between security releases and regular run-of-the-mill update releases?
I see a real value in a service to let me know that there's a new version of one of the dozens of things I depend on. But like I said, it seems janky to rely on a for-pay service to find out about security vulnerabilities. So what about making the security notification free to all users, with the non-security update notifications a for-pay addon? Seems like a good way to strike a balance between developing a self-sustaining business and helping out a community.
