Yah, copying and pasting from the features list.  You're right conferencing is 
what I was getting at.  I wonder if you guys intend to interface with the 
yahoo chat servers sometime in the future for supporting yahoo chat.  The best 
thing I've seen for yahoo chat on linux so far is byach which isn't too good.

See, that was my mistake. I thought this libyahoo2 was derived from the
libyahoo that was included in gaim currently and possibly just a branch of it
(which might get merged back in in the future), but it sounds like that is not
the case at all.  That's just me showing my ignorance about the development
efforts.
