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.
