YDL lost much of its impetus much before Apple's switch to x86 chips--specifically, when it was obvious that OS X 10.1 was quite viable, as most serious Mac users stayed away from 10.0. Power users who wanted a more solid operating system than the ancient architecture that constituted OS 7-9 began to be drawn to PPC Linux. OS X effectively removed the reasons for power users to use Linux; namely, OS X combined the interface of Mac OS and all that it entails without imposing on the power and control a GNU system provides. The only market that was left was servers running Linux on PowerPC chips.
