More likely it's simply a case of supporting the boxes still sitting on
reseller shelves.

Technically Adobe had stopped selling it, but I got a boxed copy of
InDesign 2 PageMaker Upgrade extremely cheaply via an auction house
selling off old boxes for a reseller (possibly even the Adobe New
Zealand distributor at that time).

If the subscription system fails (which is unlikely unfortunately),
they'll simply start selling boxed copies of whatever the latest
version is at the time, along with the usual upgrade deal from the most 
recent version(s).

You upgraded from PageMerk *1* to InDesign?!? I would have thought the
upgrade cut-off was Pagemker 7 or maybe strecth to 6, but all the way
back to version 1 seems  extremely generous, especially for Adobe.
