I think it's still too early to say whether Google, or any other SE for that matter, will rely on any kind of expert system for results. To me this seems just as flawed as Google's infatuation with blogs.

DMOZ is a broken piece-of-sh*t directory and the reason why Google still uses its directory results is beyond me. DMOZ is slow, rarely updated and fairly easy to cheat, if you want to. It doesn't justify its own existence.
