I think this is very simple, if you want to use services that are marked as pro then you need to have pro version.
By using pro you are making all us others dump for paying for it and you are slowing down development.
So you believe it's alright to hold users hostage by causing servers to malfunction? I have a couple of servers that aren't even using PHP Selector that have had issues with the permissions update. Then I have some that are on pro that also had issues so it's not clear-cut case of going pro will resolve the issue. If you want to limit a features then limit it, don't allow users to use it then hold them hostage.
Seriously, it should be handled better. I had in mind to move my remaining servers all over to pro but I have lost faith trustworthiness of the platform.
I get that support in the form of income from Pro licenses is needed to fund further development, but this is not the correct way to go about it.
