I believe Yahoo is overwhelmed while being under staffed. Not enough muscle to get the job done. It takes a long time and great management to create good code.

Management is likely running around protecting their butts and not getting anything done - too much individual risk. They are likely still putting out the fires from Panama.

I wouldn't expect any significant improvement until late summer.

On the other side, i think Google will lose adwords clients compared to optimal increases due to their continued disregard for individuals and small businesses - constantly experimenting on live systems will be give Yahoo enough customers to keep alive.

Google's constant pushing of new code without thorough testing is absolutely absurd (who does google think it is? Microsoft?) If google were in banking they'd all be in jail.
