I know :).
That being said, please sit tight. We're finishing all the end to end testing to make sure everyone's new sub tenure is accurate when we launch. We will share the launch date as soon as we're sure we've squashed all the bugs.
The team is working it's hardest to make sure it launches as soon as we can!
It is retroactive. You do not need to even have an existing subscription for it to take effect. If you subbed for 6 months back in 2016, and 6 months in 2017, you can sub as soon as this feature goes live and you’ll be at 13 months, or sub now and it’ll be 14 months later when it goes live and you sub again.
I will have more public posting about how it works soon (working on some emails to broadcasters now). But I did tweet about it earlier so, yes it will be retroactive and you don't have to be subscribed to take advantage of it. You'll be able to reactivate and get your tenure back.
