I share some of the concern about the CE/EE model that GitLab has and agree
it might discourage contribution. But at the same time, I'm not totally
against this model either as long as the CE version is forkable, useful and
superior to other alternatives. After all, even PostgreSQL have an
enterprise ecosystem around it.
