That one is not true, Yafaray (note the added 'a', AFAIK Yafray does not exist any more) is actively developed and last website news are two weeks old.
I know, yafaray is actively developed, but we have yafray in extra repo, so I ask here to replace it with yafaray 0.1.1.
"YafaRay's predecessor YafRay (Yet Another Free Raytracer) was written by Alejandro Conty Estévez, and was first released in July 2002. The last version of YafRay was YafRay 0.0.9, released in 2006. Due to limitations of the original design, the raytracer was completely rewritten by Mathias Wein. The first stable version of the new raytracer, YafaRay 0.1.0, was released in October 2008."

So obviously, it's a replacement. Just deal with as if it were a name change.
If no Dev/TU is interested in YafRay/YafaRay, then just remove it from the repo. It doesn't make sense in doing the replacement. If someone is interested, they should speak up and adopt/replace yafray. In fact, we could just move ahead and remove yafray. Yafaray can always be added in the repo later on if someone wants to maintain it.
