ICANN Sells Out: Will Let TLDs Price Gouge Your Domain

What I'm wondering most is if I can buy my domains for the next decade at the current price and avoid some of the potential issues this could cause.

Further, with this thought, I'm wondering if this could be an underhanded means to get extra money by encouraging people to buy domains for many years in advance.

The current title here (“ICANN Sells Out: Will Let TLDs Price Gouge Your Domain”) is actually more emotionally loaded than the advocacy piece that is the source.
