Yes, they seem to be turning Yahoo Groups into a very basic mail lists
facility. The actual mail lists won't go away (for now).

Understand what's changing in Yahoo Groups
Yahoo has made the decision to no longer allow users to upload content
to the Yahoo Groups site. Beginning October 28 you won't be able to
upload any more content to the site, and as of December 14 all
previously posted content on the site will be permanently removed.
You'll have until that date to save anything you've uploaded.
What features will go away?
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN31010.html#cont1>
* Files
* Polls
* Links
* Photos
* Folders
* Calendar
* Database
* Attachments
* Conversations
* Email Updates
* Message Digest
* Message History
What will happen to the site?
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN31010.html#cont1>
The Yahoo Groups site will continue to exist, however, all public groups
will be made private or restricted. Any new group members will need to
request an invite or be invited by an admin. Admins will still be able
to manage various group settings, though some functionality will be limited.
What will happen on October 28?
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN31010.html#cont1>
On October 28, you will no longer be able to upload any content to the
site. To share info with members of your groups, you'll continue to be
able to do so via email.
How can I keep my Yahoo Groups content?
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN31010.html#cont1>
Photos and files can be saved
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/photos-files-saved-sln2526.html> right
from the Yahoo Groups site, or you can download your data from the
Privacy Dashboard
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/download-data-privacy-dashboard-sln28671.html>.
Will I be able to use Yahoo Groups going forward?
<https://help.yahoo.com/kb/groups/SLN31010.html#cont1>
You'll still be able to communicate with your groups via email and
search for private groups on the site. In addition, admins will continue
to have limited access to group settings and administration tools.
