Because they have one system setup that they worked out a few years

It should be ESPECIALLY true for Yahoo!. Yahoo! is atypical in that
it is a hardcore BSD shop (most hosting companies that offer PHP run
on Linux). So if they ever decide to upgrade their PHP, they have to
test extra carefully for any BSD-specific problems before upgrading
their production servers.
