Yahoo! no longer a FreeBSD stronghold?

Yahoo has modified version of FreeBSD, known as Y! BSD. Originally it was based on 4.x and later moved to 6.x. They have now mix of Y! BSD and RHEL stuff. Most of new cloud stuff is in RHEL but old good email, hosting, and lots of other stuff stills runs on FreeBSD. However, they are slowly moving from BSD to Linux due to cloud, virtualization, strong support for network storage (apart from NFS) and may be because of Linux brand. This is sad but true ...

I propose to delete this thread as it states something that can't be proved....
I did yahoo search on this topic, but I couldn't find anything new....

The problem with this kind of posts is that they appear on top searches and harm community...

Yes, I also didn't manage to find anything new, but I don't think that the thread should be deleted. The topic is being actively discussed.

I posted that before thread in question was merged in this thread
 
an excerpt from a message on the freebsd-jobs mailing list

Yahoo!, the little internet portal that could, has a number of openings
for unixy security people. It's no secret that Yahoo! is using FreeBSD
for a large portion of their hosts, but the job requirements are in
general not all that operating system specific.
