Seems like a logical move. Since there is supposedly a dearth of A* developers at Yahoo, since it appears many left in the previous years. This has made it a less desirable place for great developers to work for. To change this image and negative spiral, acquire good development teams. The products are secondary. Yahoo becomes a more attractive place to work again. Looks like its the early stage of rebuilding the team, before kicking it on to develop products into growth mode.
