Yep. Old news. See, it's become a problem that people will register a domain, keep it up for just a few days, run ads on it, (we've all seen these phony search engines) and then cancel the domain before the refund period ends (30 days, I think.)
Thusly, Google decided to reward people who are building sites that are clearly intended for the very-long-haul.
