This message is *not* an attempt to try to convert free subscriptions into
paying subscriptions. The problem was two-fold:
o Recently there have been a number of errata that contained unusually
large numbers of RPMs, meaning that lots of bytes need to be
transferred to lots of customers (paying and non-paying).
o The bandwidth available to the RHN servers is not infinite; given the
extraordinary load generated by the recent large errata, we were
hitting the limits of our ability to get the errata out to everyone.
So don't think of it as a commercial to buy something, but more like a
telephone busy signal. :-)
