Huh, I thought github made private repos available to free github accounts a while ago?
Looking for historical announcement, aha, it was not with "unlimited collaborators" before.
From Jan 2019:
> GitHub Free now includes unlimited private repositories. For the first time, developers can use GitHub for their private projects with up to three collaborators per repository for free.
So what's new is dropping the 3-collaborators-per-repo restriction.
I hadn't actually realized this restriction was there, apparently I've never used a private github repo in a free account! And the messaging from a year ago stuck in my head as "private repos are free on github now", I thought they had already done what they did today, oops.

So apparently they had wanted to do this even in Jan 2019 when they did something less than this...
