AOSP is starting to be locked down. Google's idea of promoting safety is charging developers for recognition. When there's a profit incentive involved, no, we are not being "too harsh"

Almost all of the pushback I have seen is on the notion of "developer registration", not the cost. That's what I was responding to.

I don't know how much it costs. But if there's any pushback that it costs too much, my comment is not about that.
