Quoting David Jones on Thursday August 17, 2006:

This is a false kind of protection. One of the reasons against having
long renewal periods is exactly that there is an increasing chance the
registrant contact details will have changed in the interim, and you
won't be able to contact them (or authenticate them) for renewal, and
their registration will lapse.

The odds of your contact details being the same as they are today is
better in 2008 than in 2016.
