A positive anymore?

>From a review of a shareware app:

[T]his is an update from a version 1 to a version 2, yet the
developers are not charging for it! That's getting to be pretty rare,
_anymore_.

There's a certain degree of semantic negation implied in "rare," so
I'm not sure that the example counts.

Everybody says, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange
complaint to come from the mouths of people who have had to live.

Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is knows how deep
a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our
race. He brought death into the world.
