That may be part of the tradeoff of the "lifestream" model that the
Android Market uses. On the plus side (for users), they get all updates
for free for as long as the developer publishes the app. On the minus
side, if the developer pulls publication of the app, you may lose access.

In a sense, it's a subscription delivery model without a subscription
pricing model. Personally, I think things would have made more sense if
they lined the two up (e.g., what you purchase on the Market is a one-year
subscription to the app and its updates).
