Was clicking around in the directories category of Google's DMOZ mirror and noticed that some of the lower level cats have gone completely gray.
Some of the cats beneath this level are gray:
Top/Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/

Is this something new?

And if it is new, does it signal something's up?

The page Top/Computers/Internet/Searching/Directories/ was a PR0/grey for atleast a year as I have known. Not sure though, if it was a grey (not listed) or PR0 (listed). If it was grey, then no wonder all the sub-categories are grey too.
I think it obvious that Google didn't want to give a directory instantaneous PR5 just by a listing in dmoz, since the PR of those pages in Google and dmoz would be around 6 and then go about selling that PR :) with a twist, PR from dmoz/google!

But another simialr category always had PR -
Business > Resources > Directories, where a very prominent directory is listed.
