People like "custom".Let's have 4 editions of SQL
- Compact/Embedded
- Express/Free
- Developer
- Standard
then let us choose which features we want on Standard. We could have a chain of license keys, each unlocking some feature that's worth paying extra for. Want compression but not partitioning, add it on. Add in partitioning later if that's important. TDE, etc.
Sounds like a good list. Workgroup Edition doesn't get a lot of mileage from what I can tell.
