A good part of the value (for Yahoo) is the branding. It's more important to them right now to remind consumers that Yahoo still exists than cater to a handful of geeks with vanity domains.

Well then they're going to miss out on the people that vanguard these things.

Having an @yahoo is embarrassing even for non-geeks.

You can get @rocketmail (not that I'm advocating Yahoo or anything).
