Weird sentiments going on here. Getting rid of All the Web as a seperate deal is a positive step that was obviously going to happen. The question is when the coolest of the All the Web features will be fully integrated into Yahoo.

Yahoo is interested in building a powerful search engine, not keeping a bunch of weakling branches hanging around that .01% of people use. Yahoo isn't at the point of being that powerful search engine of their dreams yet, but consolidating their assets is underway.

Yes, if all the best things about All the Web were to never be seen again in Yahooland, that would be bad, but at this point that a pretty lame assumption.
