Things cost money. The fact that they didn't used to cost money is not sufficient inertia for them to not cost money in the future.

I too maintained a free WordPress blog which, I suppose, will be impacted by this. But my nostalgia for keeping the musings of my 28 year old self alive and well SHOULD cost someone money...and that someone should be me.

I mostly agree, but it would have been a less painful move if existing blogs could have been grandfathered into the old plan.
