Nothing of the sort.  I've heard a lot of things from a lot of different people, that suggest "to heck with yahoo," and imply just do nothing and ignore yahoo.  My comment above was to suggest that yahoo is not alone (or won't be for long), and the other big guys are likely to roll out similar policies some day, if not soon.  They're not doing it *to* break something; they're doing it to improve the state of the world, and have to acknowledge that it temporarily breaks things while the world catches up to the changes.

I agree.  At least 2.1.16, if not 2.1.18 or higher.  It seems to be the only sane thing to do.
