GitHub has finally shipped self-service Enterprise license adds/removes! It's still not instant for some reason, but FINALLY!
Now if only you could have Enterprise licensed users from other orgs collaborate with you and not need to double license people!

I’ve seen better results having them draw an svg arch diagram than coding up the same environment. Super useful for small sections though, in the hands of a knowledgeable engineer.
