DMOZ Delisted?

"Last week, there was a good round up and reasoning behind what appears to be a recent Google penalty for sub-par directories. It looks like he might be able to add one more devalued directory to his list: DMOZ.

Search Engine Land reports that DMOZ is no longer showing up in search results for keywords -dmoz-, -www.dmoz.org-, -open directory- or -open directory project-. Pages from subdirectories and several folders deep (and the unavailable page) still show up in search results, however, the root page does not!"

Isn't DMOZ copied to here? http://directory.google.com/

Due to Google's love of DMOZ I reckon the DMOZ homepage will be back in Google shortly.

If I Google DMOZ I still get
dmozsearch.dmoz.org/
listed as #2 ... and clicking it takes me to http://www.dmoz.org/

But you're right that the www isn't listed
