Hopefully Jeremy Zawodny will drop in here and give an answer, since he left Yahoo and is working on mysql stuff for Craigslist now (including search, I believe).
I've actually built a feature that addresses one of the concerns in the linked article... now I just need to do the last 5% to ship it, I guess.
No, I'm not kidding.
But, yeah, we have a TODO list a mile long at craiglist. A lot of time goes into keeping up with growth and those who want to do Bad Things. But we also hack on new features too. We all use craigslist in addition to working there.
