Just a heads up, it seems that MS will disable 'inactive' Dev Mode accounts. I received this email:
When I try to go into dev mode on my One X, I am unable to activate dev mode with the webpage showing "Access Restricted".
Fortunately I wasn't a heavy user, but I can see this causing problems for others.
edit:
Also, this email appeared in my junk folder on the Outlook app, but as far as I can tell it is legitimate given the above.
Update:
Hopefully MS will be fixing this soon:

We have disabled the Windows and Xbox enrollment in your Microsoft Partner Center account because it did not have an active presence in the Store. For reference, see the Developer Code of Conduct (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/store-developer-code-of-conduct) which says that an active presence in the Store must be maintained.
