Pete,
I cited my reason for thinking so at the time: Mark's request that we keep the feedback coming.
A week later and Mark created this topic. That confirms that he's listening and considering.

Because your group is grandfathered it has an unlimited number of "free slots". Meaning that no one joining it would face a paywall were the OP of this topic implemented.
