No..
I deleted the whole lot of .josm/plugins for 0.5 because there was a bit 
of an accumulation, and I get a positive-looking 'yahoo accepting 
connections on 8000' but no option in WMS (or anywhere..) for Yahoo; it 
is clearly doing something, but I can't see it anywhere..
As I said, I haven't looked over hard for it.
