Increasing userpics limits on free accounts.

Full description of the idea
I was wondering if LiveJournal would consider increasing the userpic limit for those of us who have free LJ accounts?

By "free" accounts, are you referring to Basic accounts (maximum of 6 userpics), Plus accounts (maximum of 15 userpics - what you currently have according to your profile), or both? ( userpic limits FAQ, for anyone who needs it.)

I wouldn't mind seeing an increase for Basic from 6 to 10, happy holidays, but I think that's just me liking to see nice round numbers. I'm not sure how many more pictures Plus accounts could get added on before Paid users started to feel encroached upon (their current limit before userpic add-on and loyalty userpics is 30 icons). Even bumping Plus up to 20 or 25, I feel that would have to come with a proportionate base increase for Paid users up to 40 or 50.

Also, they've been talking about "a la carte" userpics in news fairly recently, though the last mention of that there was October 23. It was originally proposed here in lj_2008, but I haven't seen enough details posted anywhere to know if that would jive with your suggestion - will they be available only to Plus users, or to Basic users as well? How many a la carte userpics can one buy total, and how will they be packaged? Hoping that details are forthcoming in the first of the upcoming January newsposts.

I was referring to both. Thanks for the input. I may upgrade to a Paid Account in the near future.
