All: this was a bug. We're reversing the charges. Everyone affected got an email. The tl;dr:

* The advance notice of the billing change (we announced in October, but only on our community site) slipped, but the billing change didn't. That's not OK! We agree: you get notified before we bill new things to you.

* Ordinarily, we waive invoices less than $5. Our billing code had a bug that let these charges slip through. D'oh.
