It's been two days since DMOZ, "the largest human-edited directory" received a 10/10 PageRank from Google, with new categories reorganized and awaiting new Google Rankings. Since Google changed its interface on March the 5th, moving its Directory on a second-level web page (while promoting its Froogle service), most of the people watching this SE's activity were encouraged to think that ODP data used fueling Google Directory's database will soon become obsolete, especially since Google Directory description and category-placement were removed from Google SERPs. Measuring DMOZ as a 10/10 level of importance comes to contradict people's impressions about ODP. Is Google looking for a new web directory or will it still put emphasis on ODP information and PageRank calculations?

It did go up to a 10 but Google's done a minor revision since then and it's gone back to a 9 a couple of weeks ago.
