Should we worry about people circumventing stricter review process by switching between free and paid?

This starts with one simple question- Do free and paid apps have the same review process? If yes, close the bug. If no, then we need to consider this scenario. 1. Developer submits a free app 2. Being free, the app has a simpler review process and is approved. 3. The app is public. 4. Our cunning developer now makes the app paid and thereby circumvents a stricter review of their app. Do we care?

My understanding is that there will be some additional policies that apply to paid apps. If that's the case, then changing a free app to paid would be akin to nominating a preliminarily reviewed add-on to full review.

So, what happens to the app status when a free app is changed to a premium app? Should the app be available in our public pages as a free app until it passes review?

For this launch let's have the details page turn into a "currently under review" message like it does for all the other cases. Less special cases going into this is good.

Is this still an issue? Does robhudson's re-review checks cover this case?

They do, but so far only from Free to Paid. Not Free-ish to Paid-ish -- the "ish" being to include things like "Free + In-app" and "Paid + In-app". I think there's another bug to cover those cases.
