I don't see how this can be. If MS is still going to sell SQL Server/Yukon as a standalone product they have to provide the users with some means of managing it. They can hardly offer these functions in SQL2K, then drop them in the "new, improved" Yukon.
Lots of shops run SQL Server databases which they need to manage on an ongoing basis but they don't have developers on-site, and therefore no need for VS.
OTOH, one way MS might achieve this is to provide VS with each copy of Yukon sold, at the same or a similar price to SQL2K.
