I've been telling people Yield Curve Control (YCC) was coming, and make no mistake, the BTFP is a version of YCC. All these bonds were trading at a discount to par and this facility prompt-up their prices to par (for a year...which can be completely extended if needed).
You're right, it sort of is YCC. Not sure they've left themselves with any choice, either.
