Yup, this is the case now. I think sitemaps will eventually phase out robots.txt files.

Haven't seen any changes yet though, its worth adding it to your robots.txt in any case.

MSN are very close to implementing it and have been testing it for a while, they do encourage to add you sitemap URL to your robots.txt for auto-discovery for when they do fully implement it... from what I gather.

Maybe MSN just "piggy-back" on Google and Yahoo for sitemaps. Actually what matter most is ranking in MSN.
