Why not create a per incident type of ticket system? If you want paid support it's per incident. If the customer is lazy and whats you to do everything (called Level 3 support) simply add on a hourly rate.
The industry standard method of charging for support is to charge a retainer, which includes a fixed number of incidents, and then to charge per-incident after that.
This is what we'd do, like everyone else :)

I think this method is much more palatable. Continue to release all features, but charge for support of the product, not the product itself. This model works great with many big-name projects.
Just my $0.02 USD...
