Slurp now seeking files other than robots.txt and /

what does this mean?

I had a bit ;) of a ban problem from (I assume) way back, e-mailed to Y! and now all of the sudden Slurp is asking for other pages. Before it only wanted the robots.txt and the /.

Before I get all excited, could this be the ban lift, or....? I had written Y! off for good, but who am I to turn down potential free traffic :)? Also, a few pages (very few) have been indexed by Y! on the .org extension, what should I do? Ban Slurp to keep those few (.org) pages, or give it a shot and let Slurp index the .com site. The main site obviously has all the incoming links, and I suppose it would rank much better. How does Y! handle the .org and .com pointing to the same content?

looking forward to some insight,

thanks
