Thats not stricty true. Google have not used the DMOZ RDF dump to update the categories in the Google Directory for almost 18 months (not 2 years).

Google have been using recent DMOZ RDF dumps to update the Google Directory search function - just search the Directory for a site recently added to DMOZ - it shows up in the Directory search results with a link to the category (but its not listed in the actual category).
