At end of year have to decide which subs are dropped based on annual usage
http://twitter.com/ostephensili08/statuses/962295125
Also looking at at Athens and SAML (not entirely sure she understands the latter - sounds like she is repeating something?)

http://twitter.com/ostephensili08/statuses/962171328
Stephen Abram talk - "if we don't invest in the future, it will happen to us anyway" - these things are happening whatever we do
