Will the business plugins like the waf or Web filtering be availability in the community edition in any form?
The possibility to move certain types of plugins to community version was discussed and not generally disagreed upon, but in order to do so we do need to provide new business plugins to keep the balance so that might mean after 1-2 years something can be made available. Things like central management, however, will probably not be available in the community version at all.

I wouldn't mind to pay a small amount for some of the plugins as a kind of community enhanced edition (a way to support the project) since for home use business edition won't make a lot of sense, support or other business oriented plugins like the central management aren't useful.
Nginx WAF is also an alternative for home users
What would be "a small amount" in your particular case?
We are discussing ideas quite often, but nothing concrete surfaced yet. If there is a demand there can be room for more than just "community" and "business" release types. ;)
