I wonder whether RH plan to fight back FUD they've brought upon by their December announcement.
Personally, I found this "no-cost" promise lacking substantial details.
If RH doesn't verify everyone requesting developer subscription (forcing to prove identity), the 16 installations limit is easily circumvented by multiple registrations.
If they *do* request identity verification (i.e. copy of ID, phone, email, physical address... etc etc, up to last will in favor of RH), then I am even more uneasy having voluntarily provided them with personal data which are treasure for any marketing purpose they could imagine.
Also, I can still expect they will again change their mind close to 2021's end. In short, I have hard time trusting RH in such a situation. JMNSHO.
