Does it mean that the delicious links will NOT be linked by google and will appear in yahoo SERP's only!

so all the effort of many people to increase their SERPS via del.icio.us will come to naught!

Really no problem, hence there are many other choices for not so restrictive social bookmarking services.

This is a very dumb move from Yahoo - they will loose at least 50% of delicious users...
