I remember reading about that, though I don't remember if I even noticed it happening at the time. I just want to highlight something from that page that I think is awesome:

I think they now offer one extra domain per user and same space, which I think was not the case earlier (I could be wrong here).

For reference, the $10/year plan came with a paltry 250MB of space and no CardDAV or CalDAV access to contacts/calendars. Nobody in my family would be able to use such a plan. The $20/year plan came with a fairly low 1GB of space, and still no CalDAV. It's possible that maaaybe one member of my family might get away with this plan, but I'm guessing that everyone in my family probably has over 1GB of email. The $40/year plan came with 15GB of email, which would probably be sufficient for my family, though I can't state that with 100% certainty. $10 extra per year is not that big of a deal, especially when you realize it comes with even higher limits (25GB, and 10GB for file storage as opposed to the 5GB that the old $40/year plan offered).
