For those who might be interested below is a copy of my email to the feedback team and their response. I hope it answers all questions about why yast1 was removed. I guess if folks feel strongly enough or have suggestions about yast1 they contact feedback@suse.de, too.
Over at the alt.os.linux.suse newsgroup, several people are saying that they've installed the 7.3 version of Yast1 on their 8.0 and it works fine.
You have to use the --force option to install the RPM, though.
Yes, it appears to work fine - at least the 'install packages' option which I have tried with KDE3. To install it you will have to move three links out of the way: /sbin/yast /sbin/YaST /sbin/zast it then installs fine with a: rpm -i --nodeps --force yast.rpm from the 7.3 suse cd, cd 1, directory a1. Since it runs the SuSeconfig of the original 8.0 install afterwards, I do not see why it wouldn't work fine, since you are basically using it as an ftp client...
Disclaimer: I am not personally recommending this nor have I tried it myself. If ya do it and it messes up something on yer system, go over to the newsgroup and gripe at them. ;-)
