gollark: ... actually, yes, oops.
gollark: Okay, let me rephrase this again: there would still be a cost, but it would be smaller so people would probably be okay with it.
gollark: I mean, it wouldn't make it cheaper to include it vs not include it.

gollark: There will probably be some gradual buildup to convince people it's fine.
