Of course there always is a radical option of leaving everything as is
Janusz,

Comparisons will not be as chaotic as you're saying. For each category of user for which there's a lifetime offer, there'll always be one account type available to new users. The only time there's need for comparison, is for those with a lifetime account which has evolved over time. The user then has to decide if he wishes to remain with his accounts feature set as they were when he subscribed for his lifetime account, or if he wishes to upgrade to the new feature set.

The account would therefore be kind-of like software. You keep your existing version. There may be minor enhancements which are free. A major change takes place which your own account will not receive because of the lifetime policy. The only way to get it would be to pay another one time fee to get your account up to status.
