What are being called GitHub Copilot Products seems to confuse products with licensing plan and features.

I always think of GitHub Copilot as the product.

I can purchase the Business or Enterprise plan.

That enables features like Reviews, Chat and so on.

IMO this chart (at least for GitHub Copilot) is confusing products, features and licensing.

That's not to say it isn't confusing understanding what features are available when you get a GitHub Copilot license, but calling them all Products feels wrong. I can't purchase GitHub Copilot Reviews separately as far as I'm aware.

Minor nitpick: OP didn't say "maybe very likely". He said "hopefully very likely". They are, in my mind, different things.

Agreed. We use RFC language at work for documents, and whenever I see someone using the word SHOULD, I always ask what is the MAY where you don't need to do the thing? If they can't think of one, then make it a MUST. SHOULD always means there are valid reasons to not do it.

The craziest thing about UK energy is that it uses marginal pricing, where the price of energy is dictated by the most expensive generator to meet demand i.e. gas. Doesn't matter if your energy is coming from wind or solar, you're still going to be charged according to the price of gas. Until this can change, consumers are always going to suffer and think green energy isn't cheaper.
