I'm actually seeing Y! showing ODP description & title for some sites including mine.

Did i miss something AFA Y! is concerned during the past months?

Maybe Marcia could shed some lights.

Here it is from Tim Mayer at the recent SES in San Jose

Tim Mayer from Yahoo up first. The current behavior at Yahoo: (1) Feed titles and descriptions, (2) Yahoo! Directory descriptions, (3) Best match to query between contextual abstracts (on page) and meta title and meta description (on page), (4) If we cannot generate anything they use the ODP (implemented 1.5 years ago) or anchor text for the title. Abstract challenges; sites don't provide titles, sites use the same titles and descriptions for every page, meta tag T&Ds are not query specific, many sites over optimize their T&Ds and it does not accurately describe the page's content and different types of abstracts are appropriate for different types of queries (e.g. navigation versus informational). Going forward, Yahoo! will take all these different inputs and decide which is best based on user experience.

Tim went on to say that "the Yahoo Directory is currently an overlay. It will be moved back."

I took this to mean that the Directory titles would not automatically trump the title of a site's default page when it's returned in the serps. This has been a long time coming.

There was some short lived elation about a month ago when the Yahoo Directory titles disappeared for a short while. I like to think that Yahoo has finally paid attention to our reactions about this one...

Yahoo! Directory Titles No More?
