Jon, don't worry about "not offering enough extra" for higher subscription rates. There are many of us who value the LWN content, and want it to continue (and expand!). If paying more will increase the chance of LWN's longterm survival, that's extra enough. And nobody is forcing anyone to pick the higher level; think of it as PBS or NPR donations: pick the price that correlates with the value you think you're getting.

And on that note: a few days ago, I renewed my subscription. I'm pretty sure that it did not offer the chance to change subscription levels, and as many others have commented, I'd just plain forgotten that there was a higher level. I've fixed that today, but it might be worth adding that option directly on the renewal form. I picked the medium level initially, because I wasn't sure how it would work out, but I'm glad to kick in more now.
