Do any search for with an ODP listed site. Notice that above the "category" listing, it now has the ODP description of the site.

Um, it's always been like that, no?

I have seen it for a site that was in ODP for a few month, but has now been removed. When you click on the link ingoogle, the google directory doesn't also has the actual ODP page there (with the site in question not listed).
How often is this OPD link text in google (SE) updated?

Google should remove its directory if it can not keep it updated.

I sincerely feel Google should remove its directory if it can not be regularly updated since it gives a unfair advantage to those sites that are not in Google Directory by giving a category listing and bigger (additional) description.
