Because, unless you've got your head under a rock, DMOZ is most assuredly NOT irrelevant.
Thousands of small and private directories use its' information to list sites that have already been categorized in relevant pages and many of these are directories currently list competitor's sites.
Without a listing in DMOZ, there's no way in and it's a small advantage my competitors enjoy in that, because they're not paid links, they get more link juice from Google.
I'd love to have tons of FREE links in relevant directories that I don't have to submit to or manage and I'd truly appreciate any increase in pagerank that a listing in DMOZ might produce.
I just hope I live to see the day when the floodgates open and the two sites I've submitted are listed.
