John, I agree with your general advice, but in this case it looks like it's Afilias, the folks who own all of .info, that are allowing their registrars to register 25 free names per person. "We are glad to offer you this special .INFO promotion in cooperation with the official registry Afilias."
That said, your point still stands, it could be an indication that .info is losing money for Afilias. They also manage .org and some CC TLDs though, so I don't think the domains will disappear. Even if Afilias went bankrupt, or they wanted to shed unprofitable TLDs, I reckon they'd sell them to other registries.
