ING ISA, Concern over changes

Greetings,
I just recieved an email from ING stating that their ISA's will now be operating yearly, and then no more funds can be added for the next year unless you open a new ISA. So, this basically means £3600 maximum in each annual ISA account opened. Surely this limits the interest we can all make by not enabling savers to add more & more capital every year to the same ISA account!!!? Or am I wrong!?
Is anyone aware of other banks operating in such a way?
EXTRACT FROM THE ING LETTER SENT TO ME:
" Therefore from 15 February 2009, your current Cash ISA has been re-named “Cash ISA 2006/2009” and this is what you will see on future statements.
You will not be able to add any additional funds to this account after 5 April 2009 (the last day of the 2008/2009 tax year). If you would like to continue saving tax-free with ING Direct, you can open a Cash ISA 2009/2010 from 6 April 2009 by visiting ingdirect.co.uk".

You will still earn interest on the separate ISA's and this will work out about the same in the end (assuming the same interest rates).
Check out the t&c's, I don't think that's what they are getting at.
