Again, not in my opinion. Google is the main user of DMOZ data, and they pushed it off the front page a long time ago. Their directory is just an also-ran now.

This is just my guess, but I'd say that the only reason they still use the data is for the Descriptions, which they use as snippets when they best suit the searchterm. The same applies to Yahoo!.
