I don't think that they would. That'll be a massive migration involving lots
and lots of costs. They have to pay for RedHat Enterprise too. The only reason
I can think off is that they want support.Perhaps I missed a part, but I don't
see the word FreeBSD in that article. 

Besides, the point of the article is not regarding a migration of Yahoo, but
Linux and IT in general. It has nothing to do with Yahoo or FreeBSD. I think
that the author of the article is simply mistaking.
