I'm not convinced that eBooks will disappear from servers in the way pBooks disappear from bookstores. I guess time will tell. Even if this is true, the current change probably would not be a factor. Books that are not on a Kobo server aren't there regardless.

The issue with free books is different as Kobo has no record of what free books a person is "entitled" to as they were never run through the part of the system that tracks such things. Amazon apparently runs free books through the shopping cart part of its system as a $0.00 sale, so they have a record of it. This suggestion was made by the beta group, but I have no idea what might happen. BTW, not everyone wanted to have to use the shopping cart in order to get a freebie. Different strokes...
