Gitlab.com is a marketing instrument and if you 'remove the product entirely' then the enterprise edition will sell only a small fraction of what it sells today.

I do not know if your statement holds true. But you shouldn't half-ass a marketing instrument either IMHO.

That I agree with. There are some weird incentives at work though: a commercial user of Gitlab.com might see their frustration with Gitlab.com as the reason to go for an enterprise license rather than to switch to the competition.
