Fellow developers, if you have a sourceforge project, now might be really a good time to contact them and let them know that something is amiss. Jeremy Zawodny from Yahoo explains:

You’re blocking Yahoo! Search crawlers from your site and have been for several days now. We’ve tried contacting you to verify your intent.

Sorry to state the obvious but if Yahoo removes all of Sourceforge from their index this could make it that much harder for folks to find these projects (perhaps your projects hosted there) — at least for those who prefer Yahoo search. I can’t imagine Sourceforge intends for this to happen.

Jeremy indicated that they’ve tried contacting them and received no response. Maybe a deluge of emails from devs who use Sourceforge will help garner a response.

Did this post make you go hmm?
