Yes did a few acoustic songs during their 2004 tour.  Roundabout was different and memorable.
 
In general, though, acoustic is the opposite of what Yes fans really look forward to.

Acoustic as in some folk/singer-songwriter-ish way (the band sitting in a circle strumming acoustic guitars) would be interesting to hear, definitely.

I think you can dismiss about 70% of Wakeman's albums in that way. The new age albums are dull. Some though, especially the early ones are magnificent. To see what i mean by his "wizardly", just listen to the likes of "Six wives", or his contribution to the "Yessongs" album.
 
Moraz contribution to "Relayer" is a fine example too though of why I think Yes should avoid the unplugged route.

well, i prefer Patrick Moraz ( Relayer is my fav stuff by them) more than Wakeman as keys "wizard". WHAT "THE KEYBOARDS WIZARDY" REALLY MEANS? nothing at all. Moraz had a classical music education too. btw, i think that Wakeman is overrated; his solo albums are silly stuff, imho.

Doesn't appeal to me much. The music of some bands suits that environment better than others. For me, the essence of Yes music in instrumental terms is the dominant bass of Chris, the keyboards wizardry of Wakeman, and the lead guitar of Howe.

IMHO, it could be some majestic stuff; 100% acoustic, new album by Yes!
