Suggestion for Cloudflare: Create an early adopter option for free accounts.
Benefit: Earliest uptake of new features and security patches.
Drawback: Higher risk of outages.
I think this should be possible since they already differentiate between free, pro and enterprise accounts. I do not know how the routing for that works but I bet they could do this. Think crowd-sourced beta testers. Also a perk for anything PCI audit or FEDRAMP security prioritized over uptime.
They do in some way because the LaLiga blocking problems in Spain don’t affect the paid accounts=large websites.
An other suggestion is to do it along night shift in every country, right now they only take into account EEUU night.
I would for sure enable this, my personal server can handle being unreachable for a few hours in exchange for (potentially) interesting features.
If that meant free tier had WAF then sure, I’d enable that.
