TLDR: Yahoo is allowing new employees to vest their RSUs after a month.

Apple is allowing to vest after 6 month now.

Source: I got an offer from Apple.

It would be nice to see this be the next form of comp companies start to compete on.
I'd rather have cash
RSUs in a highly liquid publicly traded company are pretty close to cash
Quicker vesting of stock options should achieve the opposite I.e. lower employee retention - not increase it.
This new deal should make Yahoo more attractive to new hires who are afraid they might hate Yahoo and quit. It won't help retain anyone who is already hired who hates their job.
