That definitely looks like arbitrary price fixing, along with lack of
communication with the registrars to make a smooth transition to a new
pricing scheme.
The end-customers do not experience it. It's only the people in the
"backend", that suffer greatly.
The management of .mu has a lot of issues. Also, I don't see a clear
long-term plan to make .mu attractive compared to a .com.
