As far as I can tell they have been reducing the number of links shown using the Google Toolbar and the "link:" command. But they now let you see a much more complete list of backlinks using Webmaster Tools (http://www.google.com/webmasters/). This will also tell you other stuff about their evaluation of your IBLs. You have to register your site at Webmaster Tools in order to get the full information. You've probably also noticed that MSN disabled the "link:" information three or four months ago.

I've seen Google not pick up a Yahoo directory listing as well as 2 DMOZ listings for a one of my client's sites. I found this very odd. Does Google just list links in their "link:" command based on what is indexed or is there a popularity score for each link, which is the only reason they are listed in the "link:" results?
