When I was browsing dmoz recently I saw a weird editing in a category, More than 100 sites have been removed and 10 new sites have been added, Those 10 new sites doesnt look worth to be listed there,

See this category,

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Pets/Supplies/

Compare the 2 results,

http://dmoz.org/Shopping/Pets/Supplies/

http://directory.google.com/Top/Shopping/Pets/Supplies/

The above category is a very important category in dmoz and 1000s are sites are competiting to get a listing there, So what is happening anyone can guess, weird :confused:

Edit reason - Got an answer from Resource-zone.com
Answer from meta:

If a category gets a lot of listings we can decide to split it into smaller parts. As has been done here. Compare the 2 results given by you and now look at all the subcategories.

Moving sites around is done ALL THE TIME, as well as adding new categories.

Sometimes it for the better and sometimes it's just confusing.
