John - You are correct - ARIN continues to provide basic registration services to thousands of non-contracted legacy resource holders (including online updates to your registration, reverse DNS services, etc. ) without fee or contract.
That remains an option so long as you don’t wish to use the more advanced services that were developed since, and paid for the ARIN community.
