The official corporate mantra is "We don't have any plans to change the pricing for the Creative Cloud Photography Package." ... though, this statement must be tempered with the fact, Adobe did not have any "plans" to cease further development of the perpetual license versions of CS products either. Plans can and do change.
That said, there are many users who have entered into their second year and a few more who are entering into their third year of CC agreements and there has not been any change in pricing. How long that trend will last is up to circumstances beyond the subscriber's control . Once you are in, you are guaranteed at least 12 months at the current price. Beyond that, it would be pure guesswork to predict any changes.
I was vehemently opposed to the subscription model as it was first offered. But since they changed the agreement to include the ability to view, print and export legacy work from the CC version of Lr, I have gone to the plan, although I maintain my previous perpetual license to Lr as well. Just in case. The additional cost is not that great until Adobe has a longer track record with the CC model. Plus it allows me to have Lr on four computers as needed.
