Hacker jargon, the use of 'Yet Another' as a way of padding out their acronym is fairly common. Examples include:
YACC: Yet Another Compiler Compiler.
YAST: Yet Another Setup Tool.
YAPC: Yet Another Perl Conference.
YaBB: Yet Another Bulletin Board.
YABA: Yet Another Bloody Acronym (see TLA).
YAUN: Yet Another Unix Nerd.
This jargon is also used in non-abbrieviated form, and the inevitable 'Yet Another YAPC report' has also been used.
