In-direct enforcement of TimeLine

Just noticed something today when I saw a friend's post in FB. He placed a link to Yahoo's news which I find interesting thus click the title to open it.

What happened was another Message Window pop up saying in order to proceed, I need to upgrade my FB account for TimeLine feature... Is this some sort of agreement done between Yahoo & FB? I don't find any technical specific reasons to do so.

I believe some of my friends who are now in TimeLine mode not aware what causes the changes since they never self willing to change it. Now I think this could be one of the reason what happened. Currently I don't have any technical steps to prevent such approach, the best way is the practice: Don't click the Agree to Changes button when saw it if you prefer to remain in old fashion FB layout.
