Google Directory home page now a measly PR8?

http://www.google.com/dirhp?hl=en

While:
http://dmoz.org/

Pulls in a PR9. How can the Google Directory, which is linked to off the PR10 home page of google.com, not able to show at least a PR9? It ain't like google.com has a ton of links on it. I count precisely 12 at this moment.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'd sure like to have a PR 8 site to play around with for awhile. :)

[directory.google.com...]
PR 10

However, when I click the link from Google's Home Page I get
[google.com...]
which is obviously a bad neighbourhood.;)

There are several ways to get to directory pages. Like clicking a directory link in the serps takes you to
[directory.google.com...]
rather than
[directory.google.com...]
PR1 instead of PR6.

Anyway, as pointed out the directory is PR10.

Now if they would just update it.

[Powdork]

my site was removed from dmoz in may of last year. It was removed from the google directory in August I believe. It still has the description and category attached, however, in Google serps. Fine with me though, just for the real estate value.

I had to become an editor to get my site included in Dmoz :(

Why cant they just bring down the directory if they cant keep it updated?

[madman21]

They shouldn't bring it down because it does more good then bad right now IMO
