Please don't post shortened URLs without even offering a summary.

YaCy has already been discussed several times on the list.
The show-stopping problem I see is that it's difficult to shoehorn
a JVM and an application with already considerable footprint into
a pretty small ARM embedded which must also run other daemons.

I have the impression that anything relying on Java would be
a disqualification criterium for FreeedomBox minimal functionality
(Tier 0?) as it has to run on an embedded footprint. It would
probably be ok for the higher tiers, particularly that it has 
been already packaged for Debian
