Agreed. And building on your point, I think even in the "late" era of Yahoo they had a chance of correcting course through their partnership with Mozilla. Mozilla has a real vision, and Yahoo could have moved the vast internet properties under its control into conformity with Mozilla's vision in various ways, and given real legs to things like Persona, or the various other beautiful Mozilla Labs projects. To me that's an ultimate what-if, and a missed opportunity for both companies.
