The interface ENSNow uses supports yearly fees, but the actual implementation doesn’t. You could certainly write an alternate version of the contract that supports this, and the UI would support it easily. The way it’s designed to work, users would prepay as long a duration as they want - it wouldn’t automatically deduct funds for renewals.
We didn’t implement this because we figure most users who just want a quick subdomain don’t want to have to deal with remembering to renew it yearly - subdomains are intended to be a very easy ‘fire and forget’ option for people who just want to name their wallets.
