I would imagine if they do cut the directory they will stop allowing submissions to it right now, either that or they will have thousands of people writing them for refunds, since they paid for the year.

I still think the model will be PFI, into the directory, and then CPC overture style as an enhancement.

Figure Inktomi makes 30 dollars per submission for PFI now, they could be making 300 from it if it was part of the directory, in addition to the money each site would get hand reviewed and placed in its proper category...it seems like it would make sense.
