I agree with Curtis, at the model level the two things are still
separated. _We could implement a workflow_ where exceptional access is
granted without subscription. It's just that we are choosing not to do
this at this stage.

I don't want to increase project scope. This project has been going for
long enough as it is. We should focus on the important thing which is
delivering good private projects for OEM. Managing indivual access to
bugs without a subscription isn't a requirement. And if it ever become
one, we'll do it another time. (They can always mute their subsription
anyway.)

Cheers
