As a customer of OpenSRS they sent us a notice about the change. The
notice, and this page you linked, speak to their customer communication
about policy changes.
To be honest, I just breezed the email message and noted that it seemed
like a positive change (without knowing the reasons that prompted the
change). We rarely update registrant information and rarely transfer
domains. We also know our customers. I expect this will have zero impact
on our day to day operations other than potentially preventing some
hijackings (we have had some customers experience hijackings in the days
when all it took was a fax on letterhead to NetSol to get your domain
info changed).
