New comment by cmsefton in "How many products does Microsoft have named 'Copilot'?"

What are being called GitHub Copilot Products seems to confuse products with licensing plan and features.

I always think of GitHub Copilot as the product.

I can purchase the Business or Enterprise plan.

That enables features like Reviews, Chat and so on.

IMO this chart (at least for GitHub Copilot) is confusing products, features and licensing.

That's not to say it isn't confusing understanding what features are available when you get a GitHub Copilot license, but calling them all Products feels wrong. I can't purchase GitHub Copilot Reviews separately as far as I'm aware.

Minor nitpick: OP didn't say "maybe very likely". He said "hopefully very likely". They are, in my mind, different things.

Agreed. We use RFC language at work for documents, and whenever I see someone using the word SHOULD, I always ask what is the MAY where you don't need to do the thing? If they can't think of one, then make it a MUST. SHOULD always means there are valid reasons to not do it.
